We've had some interesting developments here in the lair recently. I've parted ways with my publisher and have gotten the rights back to "Dawn Before The Dark." All of Balphrahn is now under my control! Mwahahahaha!

What this means in the real world (which is overrated, if you ask me) is I have a trilogy more than half done. Book 2 is with beta readers, and the first draft of book 3 is in the works. The plan is for all of them to be out next year.

In other news, Dorian Gray has been promoted from Apprentice Writer Kitten to Junior Writer Cat. He hasn't figured out that Play Time isn't work, but he's coming along. Our Senior Writer Cat, Ryan, has shifted to semi-retirement. He doesn't come into the office anymore--the commute to the end of the hall is too much--but he covers the satellite offices (living room and screened patio).

Since we have some new people who don't know them yet, here's a photo from their last team meeting.

Until next time, enjoy your coffee!
