Well, I'm still hard at work writing my next book. This one will be available through Amazon later this year and is published by SAPIEN Press. I discovered earlier this week that SAPIEN has posted the blurb and chapter list on their site. Here's the blub:

Focusing on the new technologies for installing, managing, and securing Windows Server 2008, you’ll quickly ramp up your skills.
