Thanks, Heart! I can't believe it, the book's only on the shelves less then three months! Huge kudos to A&U for the fantastic marketing they've been doing.

Thanks so much guys! Even just for this month it's awesome to be in the same lineup as Mr Gaiman and Madam Rowling!

Thanks so much guys!
Steampunkette, two snoopies worth of awesomeness! Yeas!

Thanks, Emilycross! It's still a great big whirlwind of awesomeness to me - long may that last!

I'm loving dealing with all the different editors in all the different countries. Currently having a ball with my British ed's, they have me doing so many fun things for promo stuff ( like, they have had me write an essay on the Merron ritual and beliefs for the back of the UK/US editions of The Crowded Shadows. I'm going to be writing a little potted history of the Southland's war etc. Loving doing that stuff! )

Am I speaking to a fellow Irishhead then?

Emilycross, wow I'm chuffed you have Poison Throne! ( and dude, surreal doesn't even cut it! I feel like I've spent the last two years on the other side of the mirror)

I really glad you like the OBP cover of book two, those guys are just amazing when it comes to packaging and marketing etc. They've been tremendous to work with. Michael O'Brien has built an amazing team around him, and he is a veritable superman-powerhouse when it comes to getting things done. Seriously, the guy never quits.

Thanks so much!
Mrs Strange, glad to see you up and about again! Thanks for the kind words!
