Well, it’s not much to note, but some days I just have to note the little things. I had to go out this afternoon, but not in any particular hurry, and it happened that the book, the reviewer’s address, and the mailing envelope had all within the past week come together to the same spot on my desk. Thus reviewer John Cross now has a copy of About the Fruit headed his direction at the snail’s pace the postal service calls media rate. He’s reliable on these; there will be a review probably before the new year, although how many people will see it apart from those already visiting my site is more than I know.

Otherwise there’s not much to report. Yesterday and today I managed to post text from the new Multiverser Triple Play, including the introductory pages and the first two worlds, to the Valdron Development Forum, and our art director is already thinking about the art side of it (at least, he’s posted in response, so I’m assuming he’s thinking in that direction). I don’t know that it will be ready before Christmas, but it’s a nice target.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around the third world for the second of these, the lost colony spaceship. It’s not that I don’t have any ideas–it’s that I’ve got several ideas, all of which are very close to things already done by others. Of course, the second of those worlds has only been run in play once, that I recall, and I think the player dropped out before it really developed into anything, so I’m not sure what I’ve got on it.

I’ve promised to give a potential new player a call when I reach the forums, and I’m almost there, so I guess I need to find his number.
