That's amazing! I hope to have even half that much progress by the time I start selling things. Magic's Child recently hit paperback in the states, and I picked it up a couple days ago. I just want to say that was a very clever ending. Also, I really liked how Reason's name was used, and the nature of magic itself. Ever since I read the blurb on your site about "magic wasn't just an easy fix for every problem the hero has," I've loved the concept, and the story itself. It is also the best book I've read in the last month. I might be a little bit biased, as I like your work and your husband's better than most. Congratulations! That’s amazing!

I was happy - much cheaper than ordering off Amazon! I saw some of your books in a couple of shops in New Zealand in the weekend, so maybe you can add another country to your list.

I just finished TSFT and I need answers, and her website has none! When was the last time it was updated? It seems to me that Theo is in charge of her site, ask Holly to ask Theo. I don't mean to be so demanding but I am a very peeved fan at the moment. I need answers! OK, totally off topic, but I want to email Libba Bray, but I cant find her address. GRRRRRRRRRRR!

In early March, I hit 18 years as an official freelance writer. Still no books, though I have hopes for the current one, but millions and millions of words of wire-service copy. Happy anniversary!
