Yes, it is over. I have driven a blade deep into the heart of mine enemy, and then slid it around a tad to make sure all the important bits were properly sliced up.

Translation: THE MVP final draft is complete. So is the audiobook recording. I just finished all that shiz, just now. If I smoked, I would be puffing on a big ol' cigar.

This is a picture of me mugging with the 829 page final manuscript, and busting out the Eyebrow of Døøm for good measure.

My part is complete, Junkies. Now ARealGirl, the Diva of Design, Scott Pond and other talented folks can get to gettin busy on creating another hardcover gem for your collections. 

SPOILER ALERT: All the Krakens die in a gamma ray burst, a phenomena specified in Phil Plait's book "Death from the Skies!"

Sorry about that, but there was no other way out of a pesky loophole I created.

THE MVP will be out in September in hardcover, eBook and audiobook. If you haven't pre-ordered your signed, numbered, limited-edition hardcover, feel free to do so here.
