In All This Excitement...

...Let Us Not Forget That Maze Is Coming:

Maze is a beautiful, frightening, exhilarating novel that twists ancient
mythological archetypes into bold new patterns. With this second novel J.M.
McDermott proves that the brilliant Last Dragon was no fluke. He's as
important an author as this country has produced in decades.
--New York Times best-selling author Philip Athans

I've mentioned some things before about this book that's coming.

I've been wrestling with it a while, now.

But it's coming out, from Apex Books

Watch out for that ghostly light. If it comes for you -- whatever you do -- never, ever put it in your lung. No matter how much it begs for it.

And if you do, do not breathe deep.

Do not.
