Work on The Old Man of the Woods paperback versions was completed yesterday, April 21, 2026. This marks a milestone in our company’s history (the first released product) and a system shock for me as a writer, as I will now have to inhabit the mind of yet another sinister alien being driven by its own reality and agenda. This is disconcerting, as I got used to being the Old Man and am (if it is possible) comfortable with him. I have been taken from a dark and misty forest realm to a frozen hell where the weather is just as dangerous as the beings that populate it. From a being of relentless effort but no humanity to a creature of passion and hunger for humanity (not as food…well not always). The mental gear switch is more than I thought it would be, but I’m looking forward to it.

So then, onward to Tears in the Snow.
