Weekend round-up
The bad news first. Some punk(s) has/have stolen several laptops right out of Clarion West’s 08 residential house. Thanks to the generosity of the Seattle/Clarion West community, replacement laptops have been secured for the summer, but that still leaves students facing the need to ultimately buy new laptops (to say nothing of the mental stress incurred in losing critical files/data). If you’re able to donate or contribute in any way, contact Leslie or Neile at infoATClariontWestDOTorg.
On a happier note, I’ve sent in to Bantam “exclusive bonus material” for the mass-market paperback version of THE MIRRORED HEAVENS. The mass-market will thus represent the first time any excerpts from my glossary will have seen the light of day, but what I’m really excited about are the “character dossiers.” These consist of files on (a) the agents, (b) the handlers, and (c) the Inner Cabinet (i.e, the rulers of the United States): they’re written from a senior Praetorian perspective, and they shed new (and, I think, interesting) light on the book’s events. They also point the way toward the sequel, but that’s another story . . .

Yeah, a sequel!
I’m sorry to hear about the theft, I hope the perp/perps will be caught.
Darn! I wish I would get my hands on those dossiers and glossaries. Sadly I am in no position to buy another copy of the same book

Something can probably be arranged–I get a bunch of extra copies, and can probably get you one .. . just drop me a line when it gets released and will see what I can do. : )
