Writing update - two stories finalized
Got word yesterday that two stories are considered absolutely final and ready to go:- "No Ghosts Need Apply" in The Phantom Chronicles, Volume 2 (Moonstone Books)
- "Is He in Hell?" in Tales of the Shadowmen, Volume 6: Grand Guignol (Black Coat Press)
It's good to have these in the can, as it were. From here on through the end of the year, my exclusive focus will be on Crossovers: A Secret Chronology of the World, Volumes 1 & 2.

The Evil in Pemberley House - Limited edition
I have a strong feeling that the Limited Edition of 
Subterranean Press' The Evil in Pemberley House (which includes a Wold Newton Family tree in the endsheets and a chapbook packed with bonus materials) is very close to selling out. If anyone out there hasn't gotten a copy, and intends to, now is probably a very good time.
I'm just sayin'.
Will Murray's tribute to Philip José Farmer
Fans who haven't already picked up the DOC SAVAGE #27 double reprint, including Will Murray's tribute article to Philip José Farmer, really should grab it, the article is excellent.
Will peppers the article with a ton of quotes from Phil from prior interviews, and spends a lot of time on the Wold Newton Family, Doc Caliban, THE MONSTER ON HOLD, etc., as well as the two faux-bios, TARZAN ALIVE and DOC SAVAGE: HIS APOCALYPTIC LIFE.

THE EVIL IN PEMBERLEY HOUSE - author copies have arrived...
... and wow!
Upon removing the dust jacket, I see that the regular trade HC is bound in blue cloth, while the limited HC is bound in purple cloth. Very nice. For those readers who purchase the regular trade HC, that version has no Wold Newton Family tree chart on the end sheets. I've made the chart available at The Evil in Pemberley House website. Just scroll down the right navigation bar to THE EVIL IN PEMBERLEY HOUSE - FAMILY TREE. Note that this version of the chart is Spoiler-Free; it does not give away any of the novel's mysteries.
The Limited Edition HC has this very same Spoiler-Free family tree chart in the book's end sheets. The Chapbook that comes with the Limited Edition has the Spoilers version of the family tree on the inside front and back covers. I will not be making that version of the family tree chart available electronically, at least not for some time--you'll need to buy the Limited Edition for that. :-) From what I can tell, copies of the Limited Edition are going very quickly.
All in all, I'm incredibly pleased, and feel very lucky. It's a beautiful package all around.

According to Subterranean Press, all individual, retail, and wholesale orders for The Evil in Pemberley House have shipped.
I have yet to receive my author copies, but Mike Croteau of The Official Philip José Farmer Home Page got his copy today, and kindly has provided a scan of the Limited Edition Chapbook cover, featuring the Doc Wildman ("Doc Savage") Coat of Arms as designed and described by Philip José Farmer in Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life (with a couple extra touches added from Phil's unpublished notes by yours truly) and lovingly rendered by Keith Howell.
