Scoble Nights -- a Go Flock Yourself novelette of intrigue

Ooooo....somehow, Chris and I have gotten ourselves written into a Go Flock Yourself novelette of intrigue, starring everyone's favorite protagonist, Robert Scoble. Here is part I and part II...we can't wait for part III (it's a bit of a cliffhanger!). Man, they make me sound so mysterious and sexy...nice.

Meanwhile, we are having oodles of fun writing our own ending [via Skype]:

turning, scoble whips out his HP-powered katanas and flings the blades across the room at tara, who narrowly back flips out of her chair onto the second floor balcony.
