Karen, send me your address. I have copies now! And my autograph is only an illegible scrawl away. :)
Steve, you know what they say about anticipation being better than the actual--
Alright, I'll shut my trap now. Thanks.
Charles, plum-flavored candies. :) Thank you!
Richard, don't you know by now? Lame just so happens to be a specialty of mine. :)
Actually, I was thinking of one of my favorite lines from The English Patient. When Hana slips the flesh of the fruit through his scarred lips, and Almasy says: "It's a very plum . . . plum."
This was a very plum box. :)
Melissa, it was a great feeling to open that box. Thank you so much!
Joaquin, so here's where we're at: the book was mistakenly sent to a few Barnes & Noble bookstores, before its official pub date (and that mistake let the genie out of the bottle, as far as Amazon and B&N online are concerned). But my publisher stopped shipment to any other stores, and are waiting for the original August 1st release date.
Whew. Thank you for giving me the chance to explain that to people who were curious about the discrepancy. And for the "awesome." :)
Joni, I love being able to see you now in your avatar! You look great.
And thank you for the enthusiasm. It means a lot to me. :)

Can't wait to read it.
Congratulations! How do we get autographed copies?
The only problem with this picture is they're all in a box and none is yet in my hands.
For a moment I thought they were boxes of candies. They do indeed look scrumptious.
I hope you stuck in your thumb,
and pulled out a Plum
and said "what a good girl am I!"
Oh, dear god, I'm lame!
But I'm excited for you, too! And hopefully that makes up for this comment.
Wow, that is terribly exciting. Congratulations! I look forward to reading it :-)
Travis, thank you!

So very cool.
Like you said on Facebook. Dreams come true.
I don't think it's a shock to anybody who has read you work, though, that you have achieved this.
Paul, thank you! That was an exceptionally nice thing to say. :)
awesome!
i checked - the barnes and nobles near me all show "out of stock".
so it's either not here yet or flying off the shelves.
soon, though. soon.
:)
That is SO GREAT! I am very excited to read it.
Congrats again. I love seeing my friends get wins.

I got it, I got it, I got it!!!!! :) Now I just need my house full of in-laws to leave so I can read, read, read. :)
Congrats--it is so enormously cool to hold your book!!!!!
Thank you, Jennifer!!
I'll admit to being anxious about people reading it. Just remember--it was written four years ago, blah, blah, excuses, blah. ;)
Thanks for letting me know. I was definitely curious! :)
That sure is one lovely picture! :D
Completely agree with Charles, they sure look like a box of candies.
