Dragon Novel Update...Kind of.

This is related to the dragon novel, but not directly.
I'm currently working on a short story which deals with a trivial bit of the novel's history. It will introduce one of the characters from the novel. My intent is to distribute this story for free (via this webside, gnutella (p2p), message boards, etc), as a promotional piece. It takes place long before the novel, but contains the same writing style I'm using. If this story does well, I'll likely follow it with a few more stories.
In the meantime, watch this space.
