Now for some breaking news...

I am in the process of editing the current book down to a more palatable length for a broader audience that won't necessarily give a shit that I've written 200 stories and made them available in one place. Many of the earlier stories and the more bloggy entries have been eliminated, leaving only the stronger pieces that help advance the general storyline of the story series itself.

Another brilliant set of eyes is going through the truncated edition as I write this, which I hope to have available by the end of 2012 or early 2013.
