* My P.O. box expired, and the post office wanted about $380 a year to keep it open. I love you guys, and I love having the option of receiving mail safely, and signing/returning books with ease … but it just doesn’t happen often enough for me to justify that kind of expenditure. Ergo, I’ve simply closed it out. I’m sorry if this inconveniences anyone or tweaks anybody’s plans, but in the last six months I’ve only gotten 5 pieces of actual mail through that box, and 3 of those pieces were Christmas cards.

* If it looks like my mail volume is going to uptick precipitously, I’ll go to the private postal store down the street and open another box. But in the meantime, if you have anything you’d like to send me — anything which cannot be transmitted by email, that is — please direct your attention to my contact information page. You can reach me through the Donald Maass Literary Agency, courtesy of my agent.

* If you’ve sent anything to my P.O. box very recently and I’ve not received it yet, don’t worry. It’ll be forwarded to my home address.

* I’ve spent the last couple of days eyeballs-deep in the pass edits for FATHOM. Sorry to be so quiet, but I’ve found that when I’m too busy to actually blog, Twitter really scratches that same itch to communicate in a public fashion … but it’s much less time-consuming. So if you haven’t seen me over here for a couple of days, and you wonder what I’m up to, try over here. [Edit: this service has been down as often as it's up, lately. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I am assured that it's somewhat unusual, and that normal operation should return at some soonish point.]

* Tomorrow I’m going to be participating in a new horror convention here in the Seattle area — an event called Crypticon. To be more precise, at 4:00 out at SeaTac’s Double Tree hotel (the same one used for Norwescon), I’ll be nattering on about survival horror and video games. Come on out, if this looks like your kind of thing. I suspect that it’s going to be a hoot.
