Hi Gary! It's been a long time! I'm happy to hear you're finally getting to write a book on Xara. I can't wait to see it - any idea on a release date? I've got to tell you, your Photoshop 6 book is a...

I'd be happy to share some of the custom goodies I've made over the years, but it will take me a few weeks to get my duckies in a row. I'm in the process of setting up a new studio. As for the gems,...
