He hasn't quite left it, though. But the end IS near. That means I've actually finished Chapter 30, and it's in the editing process now. Only 32,000 words between the last two chapters. But wait... that doesn't count the Epilogue chapter that I'm currently working on. So Elvis hasn't quite left the building just yet.
For those of you who know a little bit about sports stuff - the bit about the Heisman case isn't alternate history, it's real. Literally, you win the trophy, and here's a case for you to take it home in, but we want the case back. (At least back then, anyway.) One of the rather amusing things and coincidences involved in stories is there's a shop - it used to be called Midwest Trophy, but now it's MTM Recognition - that's five blocks south of where I lived in Del City, Oklahoma. Oh, and since 2005, they're the ones who MAKE the Heisman trophy. They also repair them as well, with fixing broken off thumbs the most common issue.
