amazedSince that day, I have launched a new website (www.miragrant.com), written the second book in the series, argued the logic of my zombies with a hundred people, and, best of all, seen the publication of Feed in the United States and United Kingdom, made available in virtual form, released as an audio book...and this is all just the beginning. Other languages, other volumes, other miracles, other outbreaks, they're all ahead of us.
It's amazing. It's just amazing. This last year has been such a wonderful adventure, and such an incredible education. I couldn't be more grateful, or more amazed. I've worked so long and so hard, and it seems a little, well...
It's all just a little unreal.
Thank you to everyone who's been here throughout this adventure. Thanks to The Agent, for making it happen; to Amy, for tolerating my crazy during the process of the contract negotiations; to David and Michelle, for all their amazing support; to Rae, for, well, everything; to Mars, for keeping the politics from becoming too much of the pie; to Chris and Tara, for my website; to Steve and Spider, for phone tech-checks; to Brooke, for the medical details.
Thank you to everyone for reading. Hasn't this been an amazing year? And there are two more to come. It's just amazing.

Some people seem to think "Oh- I'll be a WRITER!" like it's no big deal. And SOME people think, "Oh, you're a Writer", like it's not a "Real" job, and I say they are both, completely, WRONG!
You work harder than any five people I know with "Real" jobs. And it IS far more grueling than many other jobs. It's also far more rewarding than most jobs, from all accounts you've given. :) So thank you for the insights, and the notes, and the hard work, and the contests, and the long trips you've made and told us about.
