Well, I`m a bit later than I estimated when I wrapped up GD back in June, but I think you`ll be pleased with what I have to report. I wanted to give the story a proper consolidated version like I`ve been saying all along, so I went ahead got to work on a few different things. I went ahead and got a cover image done up by the talented Harry Rowland. You may have already spotted it in the story cover, but since that`s low-res...

　　Feast your eyes!

　　So, armed with the shiny cover I`ve gone ahead and done three things for you, with links down in the footnote.

　　1. A free epub file, as promised, containing the text as it was published in its serial format. This should work on your epub reader of choice.The author`s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.2. A Kindle eBook, lightly edited to remove some minor inconsistencies and errors in the first few chapters.3. A real dead-tree book, also lightly edited, so you can have that snazzy art on your bookshelf.

　　That first one is free, and for the second two I`ve tried to keep the pricing reasonable per the printing costs. If I`ve done my Amazon-fu correctly, buying the physical book should automatically give you the kindle version.

　　So, that`s it! If any of you want to snag the epub for posterity please feel free, and if you`d like to toss some beer money my way please check out the other versions. If you buy one of the latter two I`d love it if you left a review on Amazon to let folks know what you think of the story.

　　I`m going to drop off the radar for another month or so, most likely - I`m writing another original story that`s quite a bit more ambitious in scope than Grand Design, you`ll see it here when I`ve got a bit more of a buffer built up. By my estimate I`ll probably start posting around early September, so stay tuned!

　　Thanks again for following along on this whole crazy adventure! My editor and I will see you in September.
