I'm appending this message here as well as sending it as a separate thread
because sometimes new threads take a while to get through moderation, whereas
replies to current threads get through faster, so pardon any redundencies....

For those who have wanted to see some new stuff from me....

I'm pleased to announce that I've signed a contract to have some of my prose
work appear online at www.bookface.com, a brand new and exciting site which
will make a wide range of well-known authors and best-sellers available for
reading online *without charge* to readers.

These include the following items, which will be rolled out in roughly this
order over the coming days and weeks....

My brand new non-B5 short story, COLD TYPE, and in a little while, a reprint of
my novelette WE KILLED THEM IN THE RATINGS, which originally appeared in a
major mystery anthology. COLD TYPE is a contemporary dark fantasy story in
the TWILIGHT ZONE mold.

Of special interest to B5 and Crusade fans...my two unproduced CRUSADE scripts
that were written specifically to crank up the overall story arc: "To the Ends
of the Earth," which was to be that season's arc jumper a la "The Coming of
Shadows," and the *season finale* "End of the Line." These episodes were
written but never filmed. For those who want to know what was planned for the
rest of the season and where it was going...this is it.

AND...biggest of all....

In a few weeks, as a thank-you to all the B5 fans who've stayed with us over
the years, instead of taking my new novel to auction, through Bookface I'm
making it avaiable *free* for online reading. TRIBULATIONS will be serialized
on the Bookface site over a period of about a month.

So head on over...I think you'll like what you see.

Actually, I was just at the bookface.com site and I'm pleased to see that
they've uploaded ALL the stuff already, absent Tribulations.

So both Crusade scripts are up, plus COLD TYPE, WE KILLED THEM IN THE RATINGS,
and another short story of mine, previoulsy published in PULPHOUSE, "Say Hello,
Mister Quigley." It's a story with teeth....

Best to go to the search window and type in straczynski to find all of them.
