*squeeee*!!!!!

Ha! My exact reaction. Thanks.

Oooo…I’m intrigued.

I’ll start bugging my library system to buy it.

Cool. Mine has been shipped, according to the email I’ve just gotten. Did you talk to the Brooklyn Public Library? They should order a pile of them. Also what about gift shops etc. in Coney Island? Will it be in local stores?

Congratulations!! I didn’t know you knew John Ordover. He’s a good friend of my friend Carol. (I’m having deja vu; we may have had this conversation, and no, not *that* Carol, the one who isn’t his wife.)

Hey, hey, hey! Congratulations! This has been a long time coming. 😉

I ordered a couple of copies a couple of days ago — supposedly they’re supposed to ship early next week. You’ll have to sign them, of course.

Nice. Great theme, and what a line-up! And it’s available through Amazon too. I’ll bet getting one for sure. Thanks for the announcement.

Hey, thanks! I think it’s a pretty good collection, obviously. I hope you and your readers enjoy it.

Thanks! I have a long list of contacts to go through—including the Brooklyn College bookstore—too soon to say yet who will carry what.

Thank you, thank you!

I knew John from when he worked at Tor—I actually havn’t seen him in years, since I moved back from Oregon. We didn’t have this conversation before; I had no idea you knew John.

Thank you! Yes, it’s been a while in the making. I’m glad to see it in print.

Hey, thanks, Mark. I really appreciate the support.

I was going to tack this on to my amazon order, but I think I should get it from the publisher. So I’ll be ordering it today, wahoo!

That is so freakin’ cool that you finally got it moving again. Go you. Congratulations!

Aw, thank you, Laurie! What is it you kids say? U Rawk!

Ha, yeah, it’s a little inexplicable really. Thanks, Chris!

Is that what the kids ae saying? ha! Well…I don’t know that I can get my fingers to type that back to you, though the sentiment is there.

So…uh…..you’re an exceptional humanoid, Bob.
