Situation report: The Who book is done, and if I get VERY lucky I will have the first ten copies available for sale on Saturday at Thought Bubble. Caveat lector — I’ve not looked at these myself, yet, so there may be uncaught errors.
I’m out tomorrow to see They Might Be Giants, and I’m finishing a short story with a deadline of a few days from now, so don’t expect anything more before Thought Bubble. But as of next Monday, I’ll be posting here more — I have no other major plans now, other than finishing the novel.
Links, so I can close some browser tabs.

Hey, thanks for the link! I owe you one :-)
No problem — it’s a good piece. (And when I shared it on The Old Reader, my wife — who *hates* Nez, but does know all about not being defined by a disability — reshared it, so I know it has wider appeal.)
Yay! Tell her I’m glad she enjoyed it. :-) I really am looking at expanding “the brand” into other fandoms after Chicago, and that gives me heart that what I’n posting may be more than just a self-indulgent diary (I worry about that at times…)
Will you be putting the Who book on Kindle
I will, but just to be clear, this is Who as in Doctor Who, not Who as in the band.
well, then, that’s different. I’ll just wait for the next kinks or Beach boys book
Fair enough :) The next music book will be California Dreaming, a look at the LA pop music scene in the 60s, which should be out next year, and then I’ll start on Beach Boys vol 3.
Did get a bit excited: I thought you’d done The Who (and if you check my blog, I’m a fan of your work). Nonetheless I’ll probably pick up the Dr book anyway.
Well, thanks for that, and sorry it’s not The Who, just *a* Who. I’m afraid I just don’t have enough to say about The Who to warrant a book. And having checked your blog, thanks so much for the kind words.
Oh don’t get me wrong. I’m a fan if both whos.
