TRUTHSEEKER revisions are turned in. The book is nearly 50 pages longer than it was, and probably still needs another twelve pages added in.

holy beans.
At more or less the same moment I completed the major TRUTHSEEKER revisions, I also was notified that the fifth and final issue of “Take A Chance” had been completed. Holy beans. Banner day. I’ve actually managed to create a comic book series. I’ve actually managed to get it on the shelves, a whole story arc (fifth issue will be out next month!).

It’ll be a little shorter, which will make my editor happy, but shortening it means the last section is going to have to be lengthened,…
