Yes, one novella, Neat, was released as an ebook. It's pretty ... neat.

The novel line that was planned is on hold indefinitely, unfortunately. My understanding is there are contractual problems that date back to FASA and Roc, and prevent us from being able to release new novels. (This is also why the ePubs of older novels are no longer available). Until things are sorted out, the best we can do are things like the aforementioned "Neat" and the enhanced fiction ebooks, such as "Another Rainy Night" released earlier this year.

As this prevents me from writing a novel, it is highly annoying from a fan and an author's point of view, I'd just like to add.
Well, at least THIS author. |

Bull This makes me sad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) Good to know, at least, but still... I always found the novels to be the most immersive aspect of Shadowrun, for me personally. |

I miss the novels too. No better way of getting gm inspiration in my opinion.
Neat was great though:) |
