Rifter®, Robotech®, etc. all on schedule

[Kevin]

The Rifter® #43, Robotech® hardcover, Robotech® Gold Edition and the Anthology book are all on schedule.

I approved the printer proofs for The Rifter® #43 Monday morning. It looks awesome, and is on schedule to ship this Friday or the following Monday (June 14); a couple days ahead of schedule.

I spoke with my printer rep today and confirmed that the Robotech® The Shadow Chronicles hardcover and Gold Edition are on track to ship around August 6, the week before we leave for Gen Con.

Speaking of Gen Con, we should have a collectible incentive item only available at Gen Con, and a number of out of print and special odds and ends.

I’m about two-thirds of the way through the Tales of the Chi-Town ‘Burbs anthology book and loving every minute of it. The editing is coming along nicely. I finished John Philpott's story, started on Josh Sinsapaugh's, and did a preliminary read and assessement of Carl Gleba's, Taylor White's and a couple others. Had to axe Glen Evans' story because it has NOTHING to do with the 'Burbs, and I don't know if Irvin Jackson's novella will fit (too big, but maybe the next anthology book). The 'Burbs book is on track to go to the printer by the end of this week and ship the end of July or first week of August.

I also spoke with Jeffry Scott Hansen about his work on the Warpath RPG, Tommy Yune today, and a few other folks today. Got a surprise telephone call I can’t discuss, but it was fun and uplifting, and took care of some other business matters, including finding my favorite metallic silver, extra fine point Painty pen. I love that pen, but it's hard to find!

I need to spend most of tomorrow getting contracts done – I’ve procrastinated enough on those and I have several dozen between the Anthology book, The Rifter #43 and Robotech to get finished and mailed out!!! Then all my effort will be finishing the anthology book and the Macross sourcebook.

Meanwhile, Jason Marker is busy working on his half of the Macross Saga soucebook.

As Erick Wujcik would say, “It's all good.”

That’s it for now. Keep those imaginations burning bright.
