Not much longer now, and I'll be flying off to America once more. I've said this before, but it bears repeating - I would not have been able to do so this year if it was not for the generosity of several people. Thank you all!

The money that I earn from my book sales is spent in two ways - (1) helping to pay my debts, and (2) financing the art that illustrates my stories. No money from my regular day job is allocated towards the latter nowadays, so if sales are good, I can afford more pictures, and if they're bad... well, too bad.

However, now that I have a new book out, hopefully I will get a resurgence in sales. Of course I will be bringing Tales From the Chakat Universe with me to Anthrocon. I have placed my stock order of books, and hopefully I've judged it better than last year and won't get stuck with a great deal of overstock.

I have not heard anything about Anthrocon programming, so I have no idea whether we will be having an official chakat track yet, but one way or the other, there will be a meet-up sometime during the con.
