When I heard that there would be a Random House reprinting of Flight 1 & 2, not to mention French editions, I thought it would be a great opportunity to freshen up my two stories!

Why is it that site traffic increases when you don't post for a couple months? It's actually been long enough that I momentarily forgot how to create a new post. Oh well, I will try to use this thing more often for random doodling and see how it goes.

And hopefully, there will be some fun news to pass along sooner or later.
