It's thoroughly edited, with just a few minor retouches still required before it's ready to go. It weighs in finally at a little under 90, 000 words. I've spoken to Storm Constantine, and she tells me Immanion Press are still keen to look at it. So, I'll send it on to them probably Sunday, and then it's fingers crossed while I wait. I'm thinking I might do something 'grittier' for a next project. Humour is so hard to write properly, and I reckon I can produce a gritty story in a fraction of the time it's taken me with Brian (and with Digging up Donald before it). I've had more success in placing such stories in big markets recently, so perhaps the same will be true for such a novel length project. We'll see. Before then I want to craft some more short stories. I love writing shorts; I find doing so very satisfying. -------------------- stevenpirie.com Blowing Bubbles

click, click, clickety click.... Group: Authors Posts: 3,627 Member No.: 41 Joined: Aug 8 2006	I've been looking forward to Burying Brian for ages, Steven. It's good to hear that it's (more or less) finished. Immanion would be mad to turn it down after the success of Digging Up Donald. -------------------- ******************************* Rules are made to be broken *******************************

Well done, Steve

Alas, no... if it were up to me, but...

It's won a repreive for Donald, too, as old Donald was just about to go out of print but will now hang around in the hope that Brian might generate a few sales. Also, Donald is now available as an e-book from Smashwords.com. To celebrate, I opened up Donald a blog... why not pop over and give it some abuse? http://www.diggingupdonald.blogspot.com -------------------- stevenpirie.com Blowing Bubbles
