Hey!

Quick update on your book - Steve's been on a tear lately and keeps adding stuff. We're up to 132 pages now because he threw in another 30+ pages of extras. I keep telling him to stop but he's having too much fun with it! If you've been watching our updates, you'll probably be pretty happy with how it all turned out.

We're still looking good for September shipping, though I'll be honest - it's getting a bit crazy around here trying to get everything wrapped up on time. But we'll make it happen.

Oh, and totally random side note - we're doing another project starting September 9th. It's this Nexus thing we've been working on, and we set up a little preview page at www.steverude.com/returntoearth where you can grab a free sample if you're curious. There's going to be some fun stuff like a collector's ornament available early on, but honestly, no pressure at all. Just thought you might be interested since you dig Steve's work.

Anyway, that's the scoop. Thanks for being patient with us - we're almost there!

Cheers!
