Done. Winners Are…
Jass and SLunsford. Chosen from a random drawing of qualified applicants. Both are currently being notified by e-mail, and e-books sent via separate e-mail. File is big. Okay–book is now available in the shop. Use the link and password. I put the price at 9.95 rather than some exorbitant amount, because I could just imagine…

Had to do the pay-the-bills thing. If all goes well, will be around three hours when beta-testers are annouced, and a bit after that when the beta-book becomes available. Download as PDFPrint Page

Plot Clinic: The tools are done
