Here's rosemary, for remembrance...

Yes, I got my book. Had to have my Toby fix. When I was ordering it, the guy asked me how many copies I wanted and I said, "One. For now." I have devious plans for equipping libraries in my area with your works of awesomeness. *cackles most devious-like*

When I was reading AAN, I confused Blind Michael with Rhyming Thomas and was most confused why Rhyming Thomas would be kidnapping children and what he had to do with the Hunt. Then I read Michael's one of the Firstborn and realized I was thinking of the wrong person. I've never heard of him before in connection with the Hunt.

I know as a writer how hard we are on ourselves and how full of doubts we are about what we write, and how easily we can convince ourselves what we've written is crap and to dismiss/discount the praise we get. For whatever it might be worth to you, I don't give empty praise, have what some might consider high standards for what I read (if wanting a writer to have their facts straight, the characters developed, a plot that's not thinner than cheesecloth, and to use decent grammar and mechanics counts as having high standards, but judging by some of what's on the bestseller lists these days...) and I'm very choosy about what goes on my personal bookshelf.
