Frequently Asked Questions (Updated October 2011)

When will this book be released?
After Hal 6.

Have you written the book?
Actually, yes. This novel was written during NaNoWriMo 2006, but I haven't looked at it since.

"Big Bang" is a strange choice of title.
Oh, I don't know. It's been known to follow desserts ...
