Yes, I'm working on revamping the design for One Post Wonder, with a goal of making the act of reading more joyous.  

I've made some good strides in test, but am also challenged by needing to do some home renos this week while the neighbour is away camping (so I can put a ladder up on the south side of the house).

Also there's the danger of RSI, which often happens to me when I type or mouse with too much "focus" for too much time. I felt a little of it yesterday and immediately walked away from the keyboard. 

Hopefully by Monday there should be some changes in production. I like the idea of OPW, and Tom's done some good work on building in functionality that makes it useful and usable.  So I guess my message right now is, bear with me, it will get better soon.  

Also keep posting, so I can have stuff to test against.

My Theraband FlexBar is great for helping that RSI dissipate. I got the GREEN one. It really does help.
Oh, those look like fun!
 

On the advice of James Nicoll, started reading Rosemary Kirstein's Steerswoman series. It's pretty good. Not stellar in any particular arena except perhaps characterization. But no low points at all. So good dialogue, prose, world building, action and plotting. I believe they were written 20 years ago. (Available DRM-free in a variety of digital formats, for cheap, via Smashwords.)

I should mention that the main protagonists, both of them, are female, and the world depicted, though medieval/feudal in appearance, treats women both individually and as a category much better than our own does. So if that sort of thing turns you off, please step right this way into the rotating knives.

Just ordered the first two Steerswoman novels. Thanks.
Something to read after The Martian!
I am waiting for the next Steerswoman... COME ON ALREADY! TAKE MY MONEY!
 

The closest we can ever get to someone is before we've been born.

Everything after that is kind of a letdown, at least from a physical contact perspective.

Now there's a brush-off line. "You'll never be as good as my mom."
