Random thoughts . . .
It's been another busy week. I actually took some time off over the Labor Day weekend. Saw (and enjoyed) Rise of the Planet of the Apes. As a fan of the original Ape Movies I enjoyed the many fun and clever homages to the original film scattered throughout. Good story, action and great CGI. Helped Kathy with making some new ghouls, read the first graphic novel of the Umbrella Academy (great book), watched some TV and relaxed a bit. Only put in about 10 hours over the three day weekend. Which for me is like laying around in bed.
I'm almost finished with my end of editing and adding some bits of text here and there to Robotech® New Generation. Next step is the final edit from Alex and Wayne of the last few sections and approval from Harmony Gold. Irvin outdid himself. I love this book and think you will too.
I expect to be getting back to final edits and tweaks of Rifts® Lemuria by Friday. Can hardly wait. I expect that book to get finished fast. Though with printing time factored in, we are probably looking at a first or second week of October release.
I spent some time plotting what we'll be taking to the Detroit FanFare convention in a couple weeks. Probably a combination of Palladium RPG titles, TMNT books and toys. I'm getting excited about this event. It should be fun.
I finally watched the video interviews on YouTube of me at Gen Con. They're pretty fun. I hope people like them. I've only heard good things about them so far.

Man, it seems like we're juggling so much all the time, but there's a lot of positive energy at the office. All the new books in the pipeline are stinkin' awesome.
Personally, I'm itching to write some Palladium Fantasy and Beyond the Supernatural material and have a number of ideas for sourcebooks for them in 2012.
That's it for now. It's almost 9:30 PM and I need to call it a day.
