Subj: Something about a soul and a firstborn, I didn't really read the fine print.

Reply Subj: There's a spiffyverse now? What's the rent on something like that?

    Thanks for the update. Theatre companies are fun and insanity-making at the same time. I produced and directed four productions when I was around 18 or so and I don't think I've recovered yet.


No kidding - my sleep schedule right now is laughable. Good thing we're having a blast, otherwise I'd be curled up in a sobbing ball of fatigue.

    I'm glad to see you're having a busy and hopefully happy time, though. Feel free to post clips of the production for those of us for whom Calgary is quite a commute.


No clips yet, but we do have a trailer! Check it out here (at the bottom of the page).

    This is my year of having books published. I think I might end up with around five or so volumes either by me or with some content by me by the end of the year. The newest one, a Robin Hood novel, is shilled a little way down the board.

    I think the next thing out will be in an online magazine called Planetary Tales. It's possibly the world's only SF insurance claim tale.


Congratulations! It was only a matter of time until your publication floodgates burst open. Let us know when the Planetary Tales story comes out; nothing gets me going like insurance.

    Also keeping me busy is work and family. I went entirely to being a self-employed consultant when I needed money after my divorce. I've got custody of the children so they take up a lot of my time - I'm not complaining (too much) but they do. And my mother's got terminal cancer so she's requiring a lot of attention as well. It's not been a good year or two from a family standpoint. Professionally it's been quite reasonable - I guess being in a constant grumpy mood has its uses in my job.


Sorry to hear about this series of hardships, Ian. It sounds like you're taking it all in stride, but I hope you've got some people to help out when it starts to pile up. Glad to hear your work's been going well, at least!

It's lovely to re-connect with you folks. I'd love to write a Badripoor story sometime; if time permits over the summer, I'll try to catch up on the archives and see what's what.
