Finished the final draft, sent out the files, and ordered copies of the hardcover and paperback. Release date is set for May 25, aka (appropriate for a launch, I think). The pre-order links to pretty much every major retailer are up and linked on my site, https://JeffreyHarlan.com

Now to play my favorite video games for the first time in 3 months.
