Actually just to clarify… To Terra was licensed back in May. Vertical just started to do its press junkets for it recently.
Kinda funny how many people talking about it now talked about it way back then but they didn’t push it when it was only announced at the industry only event BookExpo America. Heck it was PWCW that leaked the license back then.

I’ll go back to bed now. Jet lagging big time.
Thanks for the clarification, Ed—and welcome back! My husband says the best cure for jet lag is to sit in the sun and drink beer. ^_^
Ahh. but the beer here is so much more expensive and with the cloud cover and 56 degree weather I feel like something warmer.
I don’t know what’s worse, jet lag or climate change (it was in the high 90’s in Osaka last week… topping off at 104 on one day!)
