But it's a great story...Rob van Bavel tells me that Storm Collection 6 and Storm Collection 7 are to be published together in a few months time -- lumping them together helps keep the printing and binding costs down on what is, after all, a pretty expensive production.

I often get asked how I manage to work on so many projects at once. Well, coffee and cigarettes keep me awake, having no social life keeps me at home and the most comfortable chair in the house is the high-back, leather swivel chair in front of my computer.

This lifestyle comes free with Buddha-like figure and raspy morning cough!
