     1. Animation Workshop 7 Revision 4 
     _______________________________________________________________________


     Animation Workshop 7 has been updated. This release:


     - It has come to our attention that earlier builds of Animation 
       Workshop could crash and potentially destabilize Windows or other 
       software running under it.

       This problem is a serious concern for users of Windows 10, and can
       theoretically appear under earlier releases of Windows.

       The update addresses this issue.

       If you're running Animation Workshop 7, we urge you to download and 
       install this upgrade immediately. 

       If you're running an earlier version, this would be a REALLY good 
       time to consider upgrading. 

       Please note that we've extended the half-price upgrade path to 
       Animation Workshop 7 for users of version 4, 5 and 6 software 
       this week. If you see a message at our upgrade page to the effect that 
       the reduced-price upgrades are only available to users of version 6 
       and 7, you can safely ignore it.

       The upgrade link appears below.

     4. Darkmatter Is Now In Print!!! - Take Two (Second Notification)
     _______________________________________________________________________


     Well... this is embarrassing...

     It has come to our attention that due to some issues with Amazon's 
     print-on-demand book facilities, Steve's novels haven't actually been 
     available in print for the past two weeks or so. 

     This situation has now been addressed.

     We'd like to extend our apology to everyone who went looking for books
     and found nothing but crickets and error messages.


     .......................................................................



     Steven William Rimmer's classic espionage thriller Darkmatter is now 
     available in paperback, through the thaumaturgy of Amazon's print-on-
     demand books.

     The Amazon print edition is unabridged and undoes all manner of 
     iniquities wrought upon the earlier small-press versions of Darkmatter.

     Should you not have encountered this technology previously, print-on-
     demand does pretty much what it says on the box. When you order a copy
     of Darkmatter through Amazon, a digital press prints one book, just
     for you.

     Remarkably, the production quality of print-on-demand books is if 
     anything better than that of commercial mass-market fiction. In 
     addition, your book will have been manufactured a few days before you
     receive it, rather than having been stored for months in a warehouse 
     in Duluth.

     The production costs of print-on-demand books being relatively low,
     we've been able to use really nice paper, large trade-size pages and
     big, readable type.

     Because these books are sold trough Amazon, you can enjoy free shipping
     with a Prime account, or if you buy enough other stuff to reach their
     free shipping threshold.

     Finally, print-on-demand means pretty much zero waste. Every copy of
     Darkmatter that gets printed will actually be sold. By comparison,
     traditional publishing could see three quarters of the books that were
     manufactured ultimately being "remaindered" and destroyed.

     Please see:

     to enjoy Darkmatter in print... and learn some conversational Russian
     not suitable for polite company.
