I knew it was only a matter of time. Previously I’ve wished for an iPhone app that emulates the handlink from Quantum Leap. I even had Al using an iPhone-based Ziggy in my fanfic story for the Leap Back Convention, “Just Like Starting Over.” Ask and ye shall receive: Ziggy Lights-On The game itself is…

Farked
Well, sort of. Â Brief mention in the comments to a Fark.com post about The Time Traveler’s Wife being turned into a TV show. Thanks, Hit-Enter-Too-Soon Man!
Acknowledged
A few months back a friend of a friend emailed me a few questions about my publishing experience. Â I gave some honest answers and wished him luck. Â He later offered me a free copy in appreciation.
