Hi, Mr. Card, hope you're not too busy. It is something that I have been wondering for a while, how the Mustard brothers have been after Advent Rising's release. I mean, I saw many footages of Donald telling about the game and how passionate he was about it. That, and knowing that the AR idea is something that they have had since they were kids, and to see how things turned out, well...I confess I am a bit worried. Was it a hard blow to them? Are they doing okay now?
One other thing I've been wondering about, though this one isint as importand as the first; As I understand it, Donald used to be in glyphx employ, and then he left. Is there some bad blood between or something?

No bad blood - just moving to his own company. GlyphX continues to be a terrific computer graphics company with great people. And Donald's new company, Chair Entertainment, exists to bring his new game concepts to life - as well as to exploit film and other media.
Chair Entertainment is located in Provo, on Center Street, where they have a gorgeous office filled with geniuses, as well as the normal computers and office furniture. And i'm working with them on Empire, their current game-plus-fiction project. i will be turning in the novel manuscript on 1 June to TOR, my publisher, inshallah ...

"Inshallah" is a common expression in Arabic that roughly translates to "God willing" or "if God wills it". AFAIK, it doesn't exactly have common usage in English, but I think has at least reasonably familiarity. I could be wrong there, though.
And according to the TOR website, it's not really an acronym at all. Oops...it also says it shouldn't be spelled in all caps.
