I'm back, I hope... Howdy, everybody. I apologize for being away for so long (nearly two years).

What I Learned On My Book Tour I ramble a bit about the power of chairs.

SDCC & Me I'm in deadline crunch mode, so I haven't had time recently for real blog entries, but I did want to pop in and invite everyone who's attending San Diego Comic-Con to stop by any of my signings or my panel.

Awards Ceremony (Not From A New Hope) At the 2006 Origins convention, held last weekend, I was inducted into the Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts & Design (AAGAD) Hall of Fame.

Debris in the space between my ears... I don't have a single overriding topic to discuss this time around, so you get a flotsam and jetsam entry today.

Launching the blog... A while back — quite a while back — my good friend Mary Franklin of Lucas Licensing recommended that I join in the blogging fun here on starwars.com. It took me a while to do so — it's been a busy 2006. But here I am.
