Updates on blogging, SF book

I feel obliged to inform you of the reason for the paucity of posts on this blog. I have been busy for the past six months on a startup (software) which has swallowed all my spare time like a blackhole eating light. The gravitational well I have fallen seems to be too deep to send any signals except the occasional random tunnelling like this post. I expect another half a year to go before I can get any down time. But, being a incurable optimist, I hope to manage the juggling in the coming weeks.

Some book news. Work on TheScian SF book is due to finish this week for US and European publication (via Amazon CreateSpace). Getting the book printed in India is proving to be challenging as expected. So, publication in India will be after we get the CreateSpace setup done.

As you may know, we are publishing a Science fiction anthology with the stories from the yearly SF contest. In latest news on that, Proof copy has arrived from both CreateSpace and Lulu. I like the CreateSpace copy better because the dimensions look right. Lulu has done good job as well.
