State of the Sooky

Work: Light Freight. A little cool. Not bad. not looking forward to the couple dozen transmissions we got coming back sometime soon

Writing: 2/3rds of the way through the Kestrel on the Horizon synop for EC

Of the Good: EC check and some numbers from Phaze as well
Three Dollar Bill Reviews covered ALIVE ON THE INSIDE. I love the phrase "a dark sick need" applied to the Nick/Torturo relationship. Mudd called it "A cross between Carnivale and The Killing of Sister George."

I did too. On the other hand, It still put our name in front of people who don't ordinarily buy our stuff.
To be honest, I'm more impressed with Etarin's numbers. Heart of a Forest is a bit of a disappointment on the sales and review side both.
