Hope it's cynical enough for you, Kevin!

Now that comment brought a few chuckles!

I just found out that my UK imprint (Little, Brown) nominated my book for the Arthur C. Clarke award!

I certainly didn't see that coming.

Great news Terry and well done.

If you win it and have to come over to collect the award then I am sure I can show you an interesting night out to celebrate in foggy old London town.

Thanks, matov. Best offer I've had in quite some time.

If I win, I'm buying.

I'm finally making progress on the sequel to The Unit. We moved three times in 15 months, but I'm back to writing. I'm toying with at least two time periods, the immediate aftermath of the war, and another set twenty years after. It's fun to play with memory and the effects of time's passage. (Almost ten years since 9/11?! Did Bin Laden's death feel a bit anticlimactic to anyone else?) I'm also enjoying contrasting the generation who survived the war with those born after, who have no choice but to unfuck things. (A bit resentful, they are, these new baby boomers.)

I hope to have a draft completed in five months. Thanks to those of you who bought or otherwise read my first book. I hate self-promotion, but...

I'll send a signed copy of The Unit to any of you who write a review on Amazon, Goodreads, B&N or Powells. You can sell it on eBay, use it to prop a gimpy table leg or take it on your next trip to the shooting range.

For those of you in the Portland, OR area, I'll be signing books at the Vancouver (WA) "Art in the Heart" shindig on 5 August, 5 - 9pm, in front of Angst Gallery. I'd love to meet local PA types. Hopefully, the microbrew tent will be close.

Cool! When I finally get a Kindle (the wife got hers yesterday), I'll be buying this.

I recently received another review of The Unit. This one made my month.

...but I should know better than to read my reviews while I'm trying to write another book. It can drive a person to drink, etc. (Hic)
