The Speculist

Three Reasons

Three reasons you should start reading Stillness:

1. Part I has gambling, booze, gangsters, hookers, cosmonauts, romance, and a major gunfight.
   
   
2. Part II describes life at a company even worse than the one you work for!
   
   
3. See the revision process in action! Virginia, our new official Fiction Editor, is leaving comments on the chapters that contain typographical irregularities. (What do you mean, "mistakes?" They're irregularities.) Over the next few days, the irregularities will disappear, but I think I'll leave the comments intact. That way, you can read back through and see how I fixed the problem.

Wow. Now that's literary excitement. And we aren't even close to the whole End of the World thing. Start reading now so you'll be ready.

Many thanks for all your help, Virginia.
