Don’t even know why I fretted over which story gets to be written when and so on. I realized that it doesn’t matter when I write the third novella since the release dates for all three aren’t in a monthly sequence. There’ll be gaps of varying numbers of months, unlike the short stories I released last year.

Which means I might as well wait off on the third novella in order to begin work on Masks number seven. I want to finish the series in a timely manner even if it’ll be a pretty bittersweet process.

And speaking of the Masks series, my rights to my books from Prizm will begin reverting back to me on September, and the first three novels to be pulled with be Masks: Rise of Heroes, Icarus in Flight, and Banshee. Yes, I plan to go back and revise those books further and then re-release them with new covers, etc., and that’ll be true with every title that I get back from Prizm.

It’s going to be a pretty busy second half of 2013 and beyond. But don’t worry (say I to myself)! A healthy dose of Bruce Springsteen-style zydeco will make it all better.

Damn straight, pay me my money down, buster!
