Hey, congrats! Between you and Scott I expect to see editions in every language soon, living or dead. (I want Linear B!)

Justine: One time I was at a party in Sydney with four other Justines and one Justin (Justins are rare in Australia–just as well, it’s a bleh name, amazing what a simple “e” can do to improve things). Anyway everytime someone started to say one of our names, “Just—” Six heads would turn. Very silly.

Jason: Thanks! This whole multiple sales thing is just fab.

Niki: Ooops! You know what it is? Denial. I have a book that has to be finished by the end of July, so I’d much rather believe it’s still February . . . Thanks for the link.

I’m not a Justine, but I’m also glad for you! Yay! It’s such a wonderful book, and it’s so great that people will get to read it in other languages.

I agree, Thai script is gorgeous. When my wife and I go to the nearby Thai restaurant, I sometimes space out for minutes on end looking at the writing on the various decorations there.

It just makes you cooler, I reckon. Not that I’m not cool being one of the many Australian Justines . . .

Though, it’s not cool to say that you’re cool, is it? Oops.

I’m very glad you liked my book. And thanks for the congrats.

Are you an American Justine? There are so few of those. Back home in Australia though there are many Justines. Practically a plague of them.
