Just a quick reminder that I'm still here, and haven't abandoned the blog! Working with movie studios and estates this week, which means we're in our final stages of prep work. The printers will be knocking on our door soon.

And we're still coordinating work in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Michigan, London and New Zealand ... I'll fill you in on the exciting progress as quickly as I'm able.

In the meantime, keep your eyes open for an upcoming Hobbit Talk, and I'll try to hop on the Discussion Boards when I'm able.

Thanks for your patience, and please accept my apologies for the dearth of recent updates. Apparently making a book is a lot of work! :)
