This has been a really great series. I like the wryness of the humor. I think it's what helps it keep from descending into emo/self-pity territory. That being said, by the time i got to this one I was definitely rolling my eyes a teensy bit, at least up until the bit about the nineties on forward. I really liked the closing stanzas.
Some of the "eye-rolling, squirming in your seat" section of this part was actually quite deliberately done. I was trying very hard to introduce just enough of that particular element, but to not overdo it before I began to tie up the loose ends.
My main concern is whether I did succeed in that, or if I overdid it.

Thanks.
And I eagerly await seeing your own Nomads/Gen X kick at the can. ;)
Gen X is already becoming invisible and forgotten, squeezed as we are between the two super-dominant generations of the Boomers and the Millennials (Gen Y), I think Gen X needs to shout a bit more (or Howl if you're a Ginsberg fan)

And I suggest the paperback rather than the hardback, as the hardback is rather pricey. The paperback is much cheaper, and in the end, I make almost as much off of it. Nearly all the price on the hardback goes to the publisher/printer anyway. :P
I'm also in the process of doing final compilation/editing for my 2010-2013 collection. I also need to either find an artist willing to do the cover and not want at least ten grand up-front, and a signed contract (not bloody likely), or find the time and motivation to try and use my rusty and god-awful visual art skills to try and do it myself (far more likely).

Well, as far as the contract thing goes, that's pretty important to both you AND the artist. It's really to protect both of you from each other, for the most part, and make sure rights issues and all that don't spring up.
That being said, you should look at
