I am trying to keep the happy bouncing up and down in my seat to a minimum so as not to alarm my office mate!!

so awesome. can't wait to get my mitts on this.

ah, such words to warm an author's heart!

Great excitement here, too. Always is, with a new book. I'll probably sleep with it under my pillow, first copy I get. davetrow is amazingly sympathetic about such things.

The cats, otoh...

Very big grin here...

I'm so-ooo looking forward to this! Amazon has my card "on file" for just such purchasing emergencies...

Woohoo. And what a great cover!

Darkover alert! Emergency! LOL!

Yes, I think it's strong and striking, without being overly illustrative. (And it's probably better to let the reader imagine what they all look like. These are characters Marion created decades ago, so long-time fans know them very well, and I'm sure have Strong Opinions.)

Congratulations!

I've always been impressed by the focus and dedication that a good writer must have, and you have it in spades.

Best wishes on pre-sales and those to come, especially with Christmas just around the corner soon enough.

is that a nice way of saying, "You've got to be o/b/s/es/s/s/e/d crazy to do this? [very big g]

Thanks for the good wishes, too. In this day of computerized everything, pre-orders can greatly influence the success of a book. Keep thinking good thoughts!

Ooh... I love the cover. *bounces* *waits for book to arrive*

I just noticed that your icon might be some place on Darkover. Kindred spirits, unite!

Will do! Maybe I can pass along some to my mom this Christmas, given how early night falls during the winter months in Maine.

For me, it could be hard enough to find the right balance between brevity and expressiveness when I was doing poetry in the 90's. At the same time, it never took me more than a set of hours or, at most, days.

To dedicate weeks and months, if not years in some cases, to a body of work.....trust me, it has nothing but my respect.

It's a Harry Potter icon that reminds me of Darkover. :D
