A Novel in his Own Name
August 2007 Announcement: After changing his mind several times, the author now plans to write a new novel-sized story someday and distribute it unpublished as a quirky, cosmic novelty of a novel. The author plans to contact literary agents and see what happens. He acknowledges that maybe somehow it will wind up edited and published someday or maybe it will remain unpublished through eternity.
