Yes. The rumors are true.

I really am a time-traveler from the future, where I’m a best-selling historical author.
Unfortunately, it means I must return to that future occasionally to tend to my affairs, both business and personal. There may be unavoidable gaps in blog posts during these times, since I’ve already spent the advance I’ll get fifteen years from now.
I’m back for the moment, continuing my research. We’ll see how the current time line goes. :)
