1. Top Ten of 2012: Because many of you are asking, yes, I’ll be posting my picks for the Top Ten Books of 2012 at the end of the month. Between now and then, take a look back at last year’s Top Ten list or previous year’s Top Ten lists.

2. Lifetime Subscribers: As previously noted, Thunderstorm Books will now be shipping all of your packages to you. That transition is now complete, and your first packages shipped today. This shipment contains comic books and graphic novels. A second package, containing trade paperbacks, will ship sometime in January (once I have received them all from Deadite and signed them). If you were already a customer of Thunderstorm Books, and are also a Brian Keene Lifetime Subscriber, an tracking number has been emailed to you. If you are not a previous customer of Thunderstorm, but are a Keene Lifetime Subscriber, and would like to receive future shipping notifications, please email Paul at Thunderstorm. (Note to scammers: Paul has a full list of names for the subscribers, so if you’re not on it, don’t even try it).

3. Professional Manuscript Review: Those of you who sent manuscripts for review. I am deep into the process now, and plan to have notes, etc. back to you by the end of January. Thanks for your patience!
