I've received a copy of the illustration for Save Galaxy Fast in Outcast. It's very cool, and really captures the personality of the protagonist. Amazing to see a character you've created brought to life in another medium. It must be so cool to have a movie made of your story.

It's almost time to launch Outcast. Circumstances have conspired against me making it to the official launch at Conjure.
-We've ordered some new lounges and don't have as long to pay them off as we first thought.
-Then some new neighbors moved in and demanded a new fence (which we were obliged to go halves in). Half a grandish bye-bye.
-Then some of the local little darlings took some time out from tagging walls to put a rock through our loungeroom window. Three hundred bucks to fix (and before you ask, it would have cost us three hundred bucks via insurance).
-Then the kids got sick. As any parent knows, you open your wallet to the chemist and tell him to help himself (after revolving door doctor visits).
-Then part of my tooth fell off.
Will bark like a dog for food.

The pre-launch launch party in canberra is only a couple of weeks away! Maybe I can make it to that, if I can afford to put my family up in canberra overnight. The last few experiences we've had with canberra hotels have NOT been pleasant.
