Never stopped me! Blah blah blah awesome installment blah blah hilarious blah blah nice use of short depth of field blah blah blah blah...

True. But I doubt I’d even make the top ten among LUGNET members.

Especially since all your minifigs seem to keep hacking each other into little pieces and inviting the wrath of God down upon themselves.

Which reminds me, “Dude, you have a ton of red 1x1 tiles!”

   I’m not sure when a next book might come out in the US. While the Genesis book was quite successful, the Christmas book did not quite perform as well as my publisher would have hoped, and the Ten Commandments book’s sales have been rather slow (looking back, I wish they had released that one in advance of Christmas like the first two instead of rushing it out for a Spring 2005 release). So unless sales pick up, it’s possible my US publisher may pass on a 4th installment. That leaves me free to shop around a 4th BT book to other publishers, but I’ve been too busy building new stories recently to tend to the business side of things (which I’ve never found much fun anyhow).

Interestingly though, several other parts of the world will be seeing Brick Testament books published in the coming year or so. A Danish version of Story of Christmas and The Ten Commandments is on the way, as well as a Swedish version of Ten Commandments. A Hungarian Ten Commandments may soon follow (don’t ask why they’re starting with Ten Commandments instead of Genesis, because I have no idea!). And deals are possibly forthcoming for Brazil and Switzerland as well. And just last week I was contacted by a publisher in Indonesia(!). It boggles my mind to think a book I created might be published in ten languages!

If there’s any truly new Brick Testament books on the way, I will certainly let you guys know in advance. In the meantime, be sure buy 12 copies of each of my books for everyone on your holiday shopping list. :)

I picked up a copy of Genesis awhile back when I saw it in my local bookstore. (There’s something compelling about a book with nudity right out there on the front cover, I guess.) But somehow I missed the release of the other two books. Off to the bookstore...
