Also, I'm working on the audiobook edition of Cog. By working, I mean having a narrator working on it which works well with the amount of time I have.

We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

In my head I'm thinking the POV of the person being contacted. The POV of the alien is an interesting idea though.

Person being contacted might be easier for the reader. I certainly like the premise, you could do a lot with that.

I feel like it would be a hopeful story.

Because books.
That's a great piece, Tom. Thanks for the link. And he's not wrong about any of it.
