| Posted By : MR Hicks - 3/1/2008 12:16 PM | Hello, all! I happened to find this forum while googling around for some other things - it looks great!
I've been into sci-fi (and some fantasy) since I was a kid - that would be a surprisingly long time ago, now, unfortunately! - and have finally started making some time to get back into it a little beyond work, two rambunctious boys, a pair of Siberian cats, and a partridge in a pear tree!
So thanks for having this forum available, and I hope to get to know y'all better! :)
Cheers,
Mike

It's amazing what you can find when you Google around. I actually found this place by Googling, just like you.
Cheers!

thanks!

| Posted By : G.L. Douglas - 3/4/2008 12:10 AM | Hi, Mike, welcome aboard. I'm relatively new here, too, and have already fallen in love with Gustavo's avatar.
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night. |
| Posted By : MR Hicks - 3/4/2008 5:38 PM | GL -
haha! okay, i'll concede that Gustavo's avatar has a high cool factor, but i'll stick with sword-wielding female aliens! LOL

| Posted By : MR Hicks - 4/14/2008 9:26 PM | oy! i didn't realize so much time has gone by since i was last on here!
i've been working on some (hopefully!) FINAL edits on In Her Name, and also got it published on Mobipocket.com.
i decided that i'm going to unpublish the version i originally put on amazon.com, since Mobi distributes to amazon's kindle store, along with other online ebook retailers. oy!
i'm currently working on getting a dead tree version ready for publication through lightning source, but that's going to take a bit more work and digital fiddling.
in the meantime, the sales continue, although - no big surprise - at a very small trickle. but hey, considering i haven't done any real promotion yet, i can't complain!
lyn - thanks for the compliments on the cover! and steven - no, she's not a natural blue, she was dyed in photoshop...
cheers,
mike
