Rifts®: Secrets of the Atlanteans™ is moving along well. I have added almost two dozen Shadow Magic spells and am editing away on Carl Gleba’s wonderful manuscript. We are also working on The Rifter® #78 and Nightbane® Dark Designs™, and all are in final edits and awaiting final artwork before we can dive into layout in the next week or two. ALL should be June releases, with more books to follow. We lost power briefly this morning, so I’m going to make this Update shorter than I had intended. Our power is almost certain to be interrupted for a while when the utility company comes to replace the neighbor’s transformer. Enjoy this week’s Clobbering Time Spring Sale. And for those of you in the USA, enjoy the long holiday weekend. I’ll be working on magic and shadows for Secrets of the Atlanteans.
