They seem to have fallen off the face of the earth.
Didn’t see them at BBB. There is (was?) supposed to be a new book coming out by now, but…

Anyone have an update? Are they OK? Did they break up? Or are they squirreled away finishing up their book?

I've been wondering the same thing. They went from being all over social media to radio silence. Question

It has happened before - I believe when they were working for a bit or working on a book.

I really hope that they surface soon.

Either they are busily working on the next book (with no updates?) after myself and others paid up front, or they broke up and are sad, or they died in a tragic immolation accident (like all the drummers in Spinal Tap) or, they ran off with all of the money and are currently sipping rum-infused drinks on a beach in Tahiti.

If you have any updates, please let us all know.

I am cynical curmudgeon but I’m going to vote definitely ran off with the money and will come back when it runs out.

I do not follow them closely. I remember something about them splitting up. And wasn't she hanging around Colin/Amskeptic? Or maybe someone else?

As the brain gets older, memory is one of the many things that do not work as well as they once did.

I think as the brain gets older we forget unimportant stuff.

Until proven otherwise, I’m going to go with “they ran off with the deposits that some of us put down for their book.” It was a chance that I was willing to take.

I hope to be proven otherwise.
