So, what's today's news? Well, as with all things, everything comes to an end ... including 1st Editions. Nobody Special: The Death of Johnny Salinger is now in its 2nd Edition. What has changed? 2 things: Fonts that were troublesome and couldn't be worked out before the 1st publication are now as they were envisioned, and the title of a Ramones song was corrected (believe it or not, it secretly bothered me like a bad splinter that wouldn't come out). Is that all? Pretty much! I'm very happy with the changes and can move on now. Don't worry, nothing was altered otherwise, I edited nothing else out, and nothing was added. "Wow, those are all pluses, Mr. Deadmen. What's the downside?" Well, the 1st edition paperback is now officially a Limited Edition. Unless you already have a copy or find it at a bookstore that still has some sticking around looking for homes, it is otherwise only available through jackdeadmen.com where we've horded about 200 copies; 100 on white paper (a publisher's mishap) and 100 on creme colored paper as intended. What's the plus side? Every one sold through the website store is also signed and remain, as always, remain available with a CHOOSE YOUR OWN PRICE option -- shipping is 3 bucks (US ... regular shipping rates apply for overseas) and you can choose any price between $0 on up. And, yes, I'm still crazy for doing it.

Now, off to continue a long night of writing so I may bring you the follow-up book by its deadline.

Mahalo and all things good are wished upon your lovely heads. - Jack
