Unfortunately the publishing schedule has already been determined. There
will be four months between each book. There will actually one novel (by
Mel Odom) in between the first and the second book, and another (by Lisa
Smedman) between my second and third. The main reason for this is that I
can't write a novel in two months, at least not one anybody would care to
read. <g> Four months is do-able and I think you'll be pleased with the
results.

My suggestion about getting them promptly would be to place an order with
FASA as soon as they have been assigned a product number. Note: they will
also be translated into German, but I have no idea how long it will take for
that to happen.

Jeff is my brother. He is still doing freelance work (both writing and
graphic design) for Steve Jackson Games, but has left full employment there.
He's doing full time web page design now.

One final note: I am going to be signing copies of Dead Air at my local
science fiction and fantasy bookstore, Mysterious Galaxy in San Diego, CA.
The event is at 3pm this Saturday, Sept 28th. If anybody on the list lives
in this area, please come. I'll be talking about Shadowrun, Dead Air, and
perhaps the trilogy. Also, if you can't come, but would like a signed copy
of the book, you can contact Mysterious Galaxy at Mgbooks@**.com or
http://www.mystgalaxy.com or 1-800-811-4747. If you don't give a flying
frag about the book or a signed copy, please ignore this post. ;p

Now back to writing...
