Update: Back from Beta

Human Strengths is back from the beta readers (thanks, guys—awesome job!), and I’m pleased to say it is not a steaming pile of crap. I got some wonderful suggestions for additional content, so I’ve been working on that, and it’s sitting at around 88K now. I rewrote the end of Human Frailties so it transitions better into the new material, and I’m pretty happy with it so far. The title of this expanded version is Human Frailties, Human Strengths (see what I did there?).

Chinchbug, my tame cover artist, is reworking the cover for me. It’ll be similar, but you know, Tor really needs to have a sword, so he’s getting one.

I’m still hoping to have this out late summer/early fall, but it’s going to depend a lot on how quickly I get the formatting figured out. And, you know, I’m kind of tech-stupid, here, so… yeah, that might be optimistic.
