lip re-zipped

I may have just off-loaded one secret, but today I've taken on another. This new one is something I've been working at for several years now, and will continue working on intermittently until it's published around 2009. That means it'll have a longer gestation period than any of my other books, bar The Crooked Letter. The two books, however, could not be more different.

It feels mighty strange, having passed an important milestone and being unable to talk about it. I think I'm contractually bound to staying out of any form of communication with Jonathan Strahan for the foreseeable future. And sober. Ye gods!

Anyway, I'll come clean in 2009, if I'm allowed to by then. Sigh.

Countdown to Astropolis: 49 days.

Dude. That is so weak. You can't ponce about going "I have a secret, I have a secret, lalalalalala!" and then add "BUT I WON'T TELL YOU WHAT IT IS FOR TWO YEARS." That's just rude.

Mea culpa. But I had to say *something* or else the urge to tell everyone would eventually take over, thereby shattering the cone of silence. Think of it as the little jet of steam coming out the side of a pressure cooker. It's keeping me sane. Relatively speaking, of course.

Oh all right. We'll let you off, just this once. ;p
