So the postman knocks on the door and I’m all “postman, huh, weird, I wonder what he’s delivering, I’m not expecting anything,” and he hands me this thing that says “art” on the customs slip and I’m all like “art? art? i don’t think i ordered any art? what–oh, from Eleri? Oh, she must have seen something that made her think of me, how sweet of her,” all this while I’m opening the package, and I open it so I’m looking at the back and it says “Joanne’s Story” and…

Shaman Rises SPOILERS thread
Okay, just in case people desperately need to discuss SHAMAN RISES, I’m starting a spoilers thread on my blog. I would ask people on G+ and Facebook, particularly, to pop over to either mizkit.com or mizkit at livejournal to discuss the book, because it’s much too easy to spoil people in FB/G+ comments. I will summarily delete anything I regard as spoilery from G+ and FB comments, just in case.
SHAMAN RISES!
Know what today is? Today is the day SHAMAN RISES, last book of the Walker Papers, hits the shelves! Go forth! Buy! Enjoy! Weep! Um. Well. Um.

almost there!
I’m working on revisions for STONE’S THROE, and have successfully revised the opening chapters into vast improvement. Better yet, though (because I’d always known what I needed to do with those chapter), I’ve figured out what I need to do to fix the other problematic part of the book, and am now proceeding to do that. I’m all curious how many readers here actually participated in the Kickstarter to get this (it was the Spirit of the Century project 2 years ago, and how many are waiting to buy it…
