Merry Christmas!

Just wanted to take a moment to wish all my dear readers a very merry Christmas.  While I was disappointed that Santa Claus didn’t leave Diablo III under the tree, I’ve been having a wonderful time visiting family and friends.  I also received some cool new books to read, including Affairs and Scandals in Ancient Egypt and His Majesty’s Dragon.

I’ve also been writing the last chapters of my Egyptian novel.  I’m currently working on the penultimate chapter, so I should be done with the first draft within the next few days.  Because my writers’ group has already commented on the earlier chapters, I can start making preliminary revisions right away.  We’ll be discussing the last chunk of my novel on January 25 and, with a little bit of luck, I’ll have the older material well polished by that point.
