So, my NaNo project, *The Knifest Christmas*, is at 1,891 words. It might have been twice that had I not spent hours trolling through pictures for the cover, then messing with Photoshop for hours more to create a metallic effect for "Knifest". The result probably highlights why I'm not a professional designer. =\] With any luck, this will become the first installment of *The Adventures of Jayne Madison*, a world-class spy who speaks a dozen languages and *always* saves the day. Look for more soon!

Well, soon-ish. Feedback for Book 2 of [*The Z-Tech Chronicles*](https://www.ryansouthwickauthor.com/z-tech-chronicles?ref=newsletter.ryansouthwickauthor.com) is due this week, and, once in hand, splitting it into 2 books will likely take the rest of my November. I consider it a worthy tradeoff, and hopefully you will, too.
