And that's all I can say for now. Apart from: excited! Cheerio!
Huzzah! Welcome aboard, squire.
The mighty Tor, eh? Congratulations!
Well done, Paul. Well deserved.
Summoning the power of all my estrogen to bestow upon you a mighty *SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!*
This is especially squee-riffic for me, because now one of my favorite writers and I are part of the same writing family! Sort of. :) It's like the time Neil Gaiman posted something at Tor.com, and for a brief shining moment he and I were both listed as "Tor.com Bloggers."
So, um, welcome to the family? :)
Wow, congrats!
Paul: Congrats. With you permission, I'd like to reproduce the press release part of your post at scifipulse.
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE? Is that like a giant squid on steroids:)
Ducks and hides behind sofa.
I think you needed a few more exclamation points after your title ;)
But congrats anyway! As my boss says: "Life is good".
PS. I'm really enjoying "Chicks Dig Time Lords".
Congrats.
And make sure the book's available in Canada for the peasants out here in the hinterlands.
Thanks, everyone. And indeed, Mark, we're stablemates now! That's very kind of you, Marco. I remain a great fan of Angry Robot. Ter: God, that was fantastic! I think that's the first time for me. And yes, we are part of Tor international. Ian: sure, go for it. And ah, that's the second time! I still like it. Heather: glad to hear it, and I like your boss. Mr. Furious: we'll let the world know.
Well, hurry up and get yourself to NYC, Paul, and you can experience the squee-ing LIVE! It's better in person, as it's accompanied by bouncing up and down, and pointing excitedly as you walk past me in the hall. :)
Congrats! Looking forward to reading it, especially now that I have some grounding in London geography and might even be able to make sense of it. :)
I look forward to that, Teresa, and thanks Anne!
