September is here and the state of the world is interesting, to say the least. With the recent terrorist attacks in Russia and the upcoming presidential election, it feels like the world is changing at an ever quickening pace. To keep up, Five Minutes to Midnight is frantically working on the book. We have been talking with publishers and printers for the last few weeks, and hope to have it out in a few weeks. We apologize for the long wait, but we assure you - it's more than worth it.

                 Thanks for reading,
