Got my Lulu copies!

Trying hard not to focus on the flaws...

The song in the back of Kniva book four is legible if tiny. The ads in the back of P&C came out well, even if I wasn't expecting them to be on facing pages (I'll cross-copy them to the other books as and when) and I still really like how the cover came out. I only missed changing the font on one chapter heading in the Austin--I always wanted the chapter headings to have different fonts to indicate which strand of the story we were on, and I did it. So I'm happy.

Still looking for solutions to the CD problem that don't involve me paying upfront for a bunch of fragile things which will then hang about here till I can get to a convention or somewhere and maybe sell enough of them to make back the cost. CDBaby looks to be about the best option, but I'm not sure...

Hardly surprising, really, given their political stance, but possibly worth bearing in mind when they try to make out that anthropogenic climate change is a myth...

Erratum

Please take the above "sharp" symbols and insert them into the score of "Move The World" in the appropriate places to indicate that the key of the song is A major and not A minor.

I will address this in a subsequent revision, and it'll be right in the Companion.

Sorry about this.

There's complex...

...like one of the great fugues of Bach, or a really tightly plotted whodunnit, or the decoration on a mosque. Complexity can be a source of great beauty and emotional fulfilment; it can stimulate the imagination and exercise the mind.

And then there's what happens when you just mess around for forty minutes and call it "complex" so that you're covered in case anyone says they didn't understand it.

The Comedy Prom had a better plot. And better songs.

And I hope I will be strong enough to leave it at that.
