Finally!
A mere 51 weeks (to the day) after my arrival in Honolulu and we've finally gotten word of my wife's interview date at the US Embassy in Tokyo. May 13th is the magical day.
I say "mere" both honestly and sarcastically: I'm sure many have had this process take much longer (though the NVC processing mail from the US to Japan through France is probably not an expedience for anyone—what was that about?!). But being apart from my wife and daughter for a year now, with another month to go, has been, not surprisingly, very, very difficult.
Anyway, expensive and time-consuming redundancies and poor customer service aside, the process is nearly complete and I can't really express how happy that makes me.

The Path to Loss: Progress Report 4
Approaching Infinity: Book Four
49,300 words
I was hoping to hit a round 50k, but the above number will do—and is not too shabby. Part 2 is coming along nicely, but it's possible that none of the characters see it that way. Pain and suffering all around. Things have to get worse before they can get better. That's just the way of things.

Print Version on the Way!
I usually try to spend my weekends writing and end up with varying degrees of success. I've been doing a better job this time out of writing during the week as well which has pushed the word count along at a nice pace.
This last weekend, however, was spent prepping The Blood Solution for its paperback release through CreateSpace. I will admit to putting this off since the vast majority of my sales have been from the digital format, but I'd always planned to produce a print copy and am excited about being able to hold the thing in my hands. I cannot explain what it felt like to get the proofs back for the first two books, but maybe some of you can relate.
The proof for The Blood Solution is on its way. Once I get that and give a good once over it'll be available through Amazon.
Updates to follow.
