A few folks have been clamoring for an extended version of Golems, and now I'm happy to say you've got one. It's about twice as long as the original, dives deeper (heh) into Celia's encounter with the enchanted creatures, and integrates the plot and characters a bit more into the Two Vines universe. The story's the same, but it's enough of an upgrade that it made sense to publish it separately, rather than make a "version 2" of the existing story and keep the existing statistics and comments.
I've got a fourth story in the works for that universe as well, in preparation for turning the whole series into a book later this year. And, yes, that means I'm working on three new books at the same time. I haven't completely forgotten about the novel, but Volume 1 of the slow-burn ghost story I referred to in a previous blog post has blown past the 20k word mark I was targeting and is looking likely to hit 30k before I'm done with it.
Will I actually publish any of those books this year? Stay tuned!
