I've also revised many of the previously existing entries with better citations, and generally made annotations much more scholarly (one hopes). As of right now, the whole document clocks in at almost 182,000 words (405 pages of 10 pt. type in MS Word).<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately it's too long to fit in the first Wold Newton anthology, and a standalone book featuring just the Chronology doesn't appear to be in the cards right now.<BR/><BR/>So I'll take a deep breath and hope for the best... With my thanks to my publisher, and Chris C. and Jess N. for their supportive comments.<BR/><BR/>Guess I'd better get cracking on that story for TALES OF THE SHADOWMEN 2....Win Scott Eckerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09741672104139893249noreply@blogger.com
