October's coming early...

I have two sections of my fiction bookshelves: authors whose books won't expand because they're dead (Edgar Rice Burroughs, Heinlein,Dickson, etc.) or not really producing much, (Kurtz, McCaffery, Kaye, etc.) and current authors whose shelf space must constantly be expanded to match my virulent need to own them (Brust, Lackey, Hamilton, Weber, Huff, Spencer).

I am looking forward to putting the first of your books on the ever-expanding side of my library. Having had a taste of what you write, I know I'm going to look forward to adding book after book to my library. It comforts me that you are a writing addict, for this means I will have a steady stream of win to add to my collection.

I know the old adage says "Don't judge a book by its cover," but I have found that in Science Fiction and Fantasy, crappy covers often do mean crappy books, and well-done covers often mean a good read is in store. Well, this cover is totally *awesome*. I can hardly wait to buy it!
