I just wanted to let everyone know that work has begun on creating a second edition of Master of Shadows! David Baumann (of Starman fame) is reading the book and providing a lot of very insightful commentary. Based on his comments I am revising the story.
I am going to keep the first edition available on this website, but hopefully before too long there will be a second, revised edition! I’ll be sure to post news of it here once it hits the presses.
It has been a while, but here is a brand-new short story! I have a couple more ideas so there may be more short stories in the future.
I have posted the full manuscript for Master of Shadows in the Free Books section of this blog! This is the unedited manuscript that was produced as a part of nanowrimo.
I have been wanting to rewrite the book but I have not been able to do that, so rather than wait indefinitely to release it I thought I would release what I had. If I ever do rewrite the book I will let everyone know.
Thanks!
(Updated 1/20/10: This book is now available in paperback. You can find a link to the printed edition on the Printed Books page of this blog.)

I just wanted to let everyone know that the first draft of the manuscript for Master of Shadows has been completed! The manuscript comes in at just over 64,000 words. There is still a great deal of polishing to do before the book can be released, but this is definitely a milestone.
After a minute, Hanna and Neal did their best to saunter casually into the bar’s airlock. It unsealed and they stepped out of it into a large dark room filled with booths and smoke. A tousled-looking waitress with no helmet greeted them with a cigarette hanging from her lips and a dark mascara line drawn [...]
