Hello: 

As of right now, I am no longer in the employ of Alderac Entertainment
Group. 
When I sold Brave New World to AEG last year, I hired on with the
company for 
a period of one year. That year is up, and we've decided to go our
separate 
ways. 

So what does all this mean? 

Brave New World is still owned by AEG. The next book, Evil Unlimited, is 
currently at the printer. The book after that, The Covenant, is still in 
production. 

At the moment, AEG is negotiating with two different companies that are 
interested in taking over Brave New World. Depending on which company
lands 
the property, I should remain involved with it to one extent or another. 
Either way, it seems clear that Brave New World will live on. 

On a more personal note, this means that I now have a large chunk of
time 
that I'm looking to fill up. I'm available for writing, editing, graphic 
design, and consulting on a freelance or ongoing basis. 

If you have any questions about any of this, you can contact me at 
mforbeck@aol.com. If it's a general question, please post it here to the 
listserv so I'm not answering the same question several times. I get the 
posts in digest format about once a day, so forgive me if I don't answer 
immediately. 

Take care,
