Excellent!!! Happy dance for jon. I'm so glad Max Mann lives on. :) I think you have a good idea ... about packaging the two novellas together. Even if they weren't published in the manner you described, I've noticed two-for-one is a way novellas are getting published these days (either that or packaged as part of short story anthologies). Personally I would rather read a tightly written novella than an 1,000 pages of verbiage, but I guess that's just me. Anyway, congratulations, and I hope to see your name in print one of these days soon. You know I'll be in the front of the line to buy. :)
