Also I came home just now and some jerk was parked in my parking space and I had to park behind them and then the maintenance guy was banging on my door so I could let the guy out. [EMOTE]

[DEVIATION]
[EMOTE]So! Starting last October and all the way through June, I wrote the longest thing I ever wrote. This was a big giant fantasy story called "The House of Forever", from an idea I'd had only back burner for over 3 years prior to starting. I've been so excited to share it, and TODAY IT ARRIVED!

[EMOTE] Okay! Well, we are still waiting for global distribution of BOOK THREE (which you can totally buy now), but I am here to talk about BOOK FOUR! I know I mentioned that the illustrations were in the works! Well, I've got 30 individual illustrations and also the newly revised cover art! That title on this new one, once again, is "Heads", a title suggested by my late grandpa on our last phone call together. He got my wheels turning about some stories I have that might just fit. Well, I've got 14 stories together for it, and you didn't see them yet, and I am pretty darn proud of these! [EMOTE]
