      It's also one reason why Akiko Masamune wasn't there; but mostly her interests are not really threatened by the current situation. "All the superheroes lose their powers and only my highly-trained but human assasins will be left" is not really a crisis for her.

On the upside, a number of annoying adversaries are now wonderfully vulnerable.

      No, none are. I really did note things.



    Quote:
    I often read your "noted" reply as "I'm noting this and intend to use it later" or "I'm noting that you have guessed correctly" and so on.


Noted.

    You may be amazed at how much you have been communicating (or not) through a simple notation.


Possibly.

      I lost patience with publishers when I got up (at 11pm) today. Delays on Holmes vs Houdini have become ridiculous (delay in cover art - it had better turn out that Michelangelo had a heavy project slate) and I'm supposed to do an hour-long audio interview on Sunday to promote the release.



    Quote:
    I saw a Homes compilation in a bookshop yesterday and picked it up to see if it was one of yours (it wasn't).


There are hundreds, if not thousands, out there. My work on Holmes appears in the anthologies Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective volumes 1-8 (I think we're up to 8, I've turned in stories for eleven), most of which is reprinted in the I.A. Watson-only anthology Sherlock Holmes Mysteries volume 1. Holmes and Houdini is my first (and probably last) full-length Holmes novel.

I quite like doing Holmes stories even though they require a bit more work than most writing because 1. they sell quite well and 2. I've won two awards for them.

      I therefore decided to stop being patient and holding back Labours of Hercules, my next novel, which is a fantasy epic about what it says in the title, so today I signed off on proofs and it's going to press as of 15 minutes ago. I just hope this manuscript is more error-free than Vinnie De Soth, Jobbing Occultist evidently was.



    Quote:
    Ooo - congratulations. And yes - let's hope so. Those labours are hard enough without a typo getting them all muddled I'd imagine.


I'll doubtless spam the board with news about Labours of Hercules soon. Maybe put up a sample chapter.


    Quote:
    Heh heh - Oh Shep. I'd go running with Shep if she woke me up to do so.


She will be appallingly fit. She will expect you to be appallingly fit. She will run faster than you. You will have to resort to sarcasm.

Girls are really attracted to asthma attacks, right?

This was all years before Shep qualified as a fitness instructor but you could see the lurking drill sergeant even back then.

    He needs a solo issue. Fleabot #1.


I'm pretty sure he's had whole storylines before. Often involving sex with corvidae.

      I believe it can do.

    So...after the dust on all this has settled, and the LL go to let the folk/beasts/vampires on Lemuria out again, they may find that twenty years have past in there.



    Quote:
    The Vampires are in the ascendancy, the robosapians have merged to form one life-form: Mega-Robo-Saur. And the few remnants of people, SeaMonkies, and others, not yet dead or undead, are left defending the magical tree house in the middle of a bubblebath lake in the centre of the island?


It is possible that the Shoggoth might object to that.


    Quote:

      Quote:
      There are still five or six Caphans based at Lemuria for whom hospitality-giving is an artform. Feel free to add a tie-in.



    Quote:
    I'd have to go study up on my Caphans again before I do that.
