Wow, just wow. I owe it all to the readers, proofers, editors, helpers, reviewers, and friends and family for reading, proofing, editing, helping, reviewing, and all the support and encouragement along the way. No man is an island, and none of this could have been possible simply on my own. Thanks for everything. Look out, 50,000! It could take me another decade, but we’ll get there eventually!

Also, sorry for the lack of updates around here. I’ve been busy lately, and I think that you guys don’t mind that. You’d probably rather read the books than some old blog post, anyway.
