More Blood Bowl, More Writing
Well, I'm officially without a day job. Company wasn't doing well, cost cutting, etc., etc.
The upside though is twofold! First and most obvious, I have plenty of time for BB now, and playing games against western european opponents got a whole lot easier. Second is that I'm going to be able to write full-time!
Most of you who actually read the blogs section are probably aware that I'm a fantasy author. I published my first book, Firehurler, earlier this year. My second novel, Aethersmith, is coming out in two weeks or so. I'll have the time to make sure all the editing is finished up comfortably in time for a June 1 launch.
I'm also hard at work on the third book of the trilogy, which will be out later this year. That is where I will see some real payoff for my freed up time.
So look for me on the pitch during regular business hours in the coming days and look for the books when they're ready to publish.
Cheers!

Hmm... Good news? Bad news? As you seem happy about it, I take it as good news. Congratulations! :-D
I actually might be able to play against you again - how about a re-match Passing Attack vs. Agility Monsters? :-)
Also looking forward to the delivery of my hard-copy of Firehurler in early June... good to know I don't have to wait long for more once I'm done with it. :-D

AM's welcome to play any of my teams, pretty much any time.
Your timing would seem to be impeccable. The whole self-publishing thing makes timing a little inexact (since some of the things I need to upload don't always go "live" instantly), but it sounds like Aethersmith will be out just before your Firehurler arrives :)

If I were you I would surely play too much Blood Bowl and write too little prose! But that's probably why I have published no novels yet! June 1 you say? I'm currently on the project of finally checking out some classics which I should have read long before, like Clark Ashton Smith and Fritz Leiber, but I might just make an exception because I'm kind of curious who *else* a certain sorceress is. :)

the Obama economy strikes again.

@Verminardo - Well, Aethesmith will certainly answer you that question :)

When I'm done with the remaining 10 books of wheel of time I'll pick it up :-) is it available as ebook yet? Good luck with the change

Yeah, ebook is so easy to create (once the actual "writing the story" part is done) that it's almost a crime not to have an ebook version. All my current and future books will be available in ebook.
