The first is for the what will be the first installment of the "relaunched" Corps of Engineers e-Book series. It still holds the working title Old Soldiers (because our new title is still secret), but stay tuned for more info as we get the green light to divulge details.
The second Trek project is something that's not yet been announced. Can't cough up any details just yet, so my apologies to the two or three of you who visit this site with any regularity (Hi Mom!).
Also, my spies tell me that cover art for Summon the Thunder is forthcoming. Watch this space!
Down 35-28 with 1:05 left to go in the game, the Bucs score on a sweet touchdown pass from beleaguered quarterback Chris Simms. After a penalty on the Redskins during the point after attempt (which would have tied the game) and the ball moved to the 1 yard line, Coach Gruden decides to go for the two-point conversion and the win.
Simms hands the ball off to Mike Alstott, who barrels and bruises his way into the endzone.
Sort of.
Replays were inconclusive; not enough to overturn what I think was a generous awarding of the two points, as it looked like Alstott was stopped just short of the goal line. I guess I can say it makes up for an earlier call the officials blew, when they didn't catch the Redskins kick returner stepping out of bounds during a 94-yard jaunt to the endzone.
Bottom line? Bucs 36 - Redskins 35. 6-3, going into a game with division rival Atlanta next week. Simms looks like he's on fire, though, so I have hopes for another great game, during which the Bucs defense will reintroduce Falcons quarterback Michael Vick to the concept of astroturf as a diet staple.
Nootch.
