Well, I've got great news for everyone.  It appears we've finally, once and for all, sorted out the problems with the manuscript for Earthfleet, book 4, Empire Rising, which means that once my publisher gets the last couple tweaks done, we'll be sending out both manuscripts to print and bind.  Right now I don't know how long it'll be before I have copies in my hands, but best case scenario right now is looking like sometime around the 22nd of July at the soonest.

Now again, this is only a "tentative" so they may come sooner, and they may come later.  Either way, they're supposed to be here soon.  Once they're actually here, and I have them in my hands, I'll make an announcement that they're available, and that you can get your copy.  For those who I owe copies to, I'll be getting those out into the mail ASAP once they're in my hands.

Anyhow, that's the latest update.  I again apologize to everyone for the uber long delay, but sometimes things happen and you can't do anything but wait for them to get sorted out.  But even so, I'll try to make it up to everyone.
