Things are hotting up. Today I upload The Fire Sermon to the Big Server where we are all storing our work pending a first proof of Salon des Refuses before we go into production. I think I shall jump into the swamp after the weekend and help out as this is where things are most likely to fall over if they are going to.

I also have the German translation for The Fire Sermon here which I'm quite excited about. As with the 'regular' English version, I shall be making it freely and widely available - and if I can master the mechanics of such an effort, will be allowing it to be used wherever and whenever it can be from those who are batching e-materials in the sale of e-readers.

This mostly means Sony and Cool-er but there are a stack of other opportunites available. My local bookstore here is selling the Sony Reader and wherever possible, when you order product from them online, they ask what format you would like it in - paperback, hardback or digital. There's certainly nothing to lose by giving it away here.

Anyway, following closely behind this should be the French, Welsh and then Japanese versions. Once I've established whether any of them are worth continuing with, I'll start filtering it out into Too Hot For Dogs as well.

I'm also aware that I promised to have some scripts with both Charlotte and Mr Downes (shocker!) to go into developement with some new four page shorts. It won't be a big surprise to either of them that I haven't done it yet - but I shall and it will turn up right when they least expect it -probably on Christmas Day morning.

On the writing front, there is still much to be done and with some luck (read: Christmas downtime), I'll be able to shift through some no small amount of thousand word chunks.

Le Fin.
