Cool, Shryke !!
It's fantastic that the story is already available and people are actually gonna read that story you've been telling us about for months !!
Do tell us when there's a possibility to order a print of it, because I wanna be the first international buyer of it.

The print version is in the proofing stage. I've already made some changes to the initial proof and returned them. If all of the changes in the next round of proofing are done, I'll okay it for final approval. Then it will go to the printing stage.

From that point, it'll be 2-3 weeks before it's ready to be ordered in print form (I think).

Anyone out there want to try to one-up Chien and be the first international buyer? Anyone? Anyone?

How much for an author signed first edition? Don't personalize it. I want to make some cash off this thing!

(I'm just joking... You can personalize it!)
Tenet: Criterion Edition. Now with more Backwards Man.

I don't know, W. If you send me the money for the book (plus shipping and handling), I can order the book for you, autograph it and mail it to you. That's about all I can think of to do unless you want to fly to Phoenix with a pen.


The great reviews are pouring in. I'm blown away.

You won't find many happy French people these days after what happened wednesday here in Paris and what is still going on right now, terrorist attacks.

Jeez, I'm sorry. I didn't know.

And you finally retired Costner. Wow.

Well it's impossible to live in France, or probably in Europe, and not know it. I would have thought in Phoenix too, but it's far away ;)
Well, some have their avatar for muuuuch longer than I had Costner, which hadn't always been my avatar... Right, Six ? ;)
Anyway, I'll probably keep a "Je suis Charlie" avatar for a while...
