Writing three books at once - even small ones - isn't easy. There are a lot of details to keep track of. Focusing, scattering that focus, and then undividing it again can give one either creative or logistic whiplash (sometimes both)!
There was a time, just before taking a break to surprise people with Guarding Galaxy XXX, where I considered the rough drafts of Stairway of V'dreen, High Stakes Q'uay-Q'uar, and His Flesh Becomes My Key to be a hot mess.
Thankfully, a little patient effort and infernal inspiration honed each one into a many-faceted gem. I'm biased, of course... my RPG books eventually feel like my babies. Not that I need anymore of those!
Also, I'd be remiss for not mentioning the superior layout and graphic work of +MonkeyBlood Design (Glynn Seal) and the various artists who illustrated each PDF. Glynn will soon be working on a print-on-demand compilation of all three scenarios out this Fall.
I love hearing feedback and war stories, so don't be shy. Thanks!

p.s. I forgot to talk about all the little extras - like the Q'uay-Q'uar board and rules that you can download/print yourself and start playing. Then, there's the official Outer Presence character sheet... and the Alpha Blue campaign manager!
