Well, that explains it

According to the US military, things are increasingly going down the tubes in Iraq. Check out who’s predicting disaster:

” The analysis was prepared by the command’s intelligence directorate, which is overseen by Brig. Gen. John M. Custer.”

General Custer. No wonder we’re screwed.

What’s just crossed my desk

In the past few days, this is what I’ve been up to creatively:

1) Working on an original “Fantastic Four” novel slated for publication from Pocket Books next year.

2) Just finished proofreading the manuscript for the novelization of “Spider-Man 3.”

3) Am about to start proofreading the manuscript for “The Hidden Earth,” first book in a new series from Tor slated for Spring of 2007.

4) Finished proofreading “Fallen Angel #11” which has gone out to the printer (and, by the way, J.K. Woodward has updated his website and is offering cover art from retailer incentive covers of “Fallen Angel.” Several have already sold, so check them out at http://www.jkwoodward.com

5) Finishing proofreading “Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #14.” As to what’s coming up in that issue, two words: Ben Reilly. I will say no more than that (okay, Deb Whitman and the Vulture). But…Ben Reilly.

6) About to start scripting issue #2 of “Dark Tower.” Jae Lee’s artwork will knock you off your spider throne.
