Finally...

I've done it. I've got a complete, beta'd, Brit checked, copy edited and formatted version of the Pros novel I've been working on for ::mumble::mumble:: years.

Call me gobsmacked.

Looks like it will actually be printed and ready for Close Quarters.

And it should be stunning to look at, too, since the generous and talented [livejournal.com profile] artconserv has agreed to do the cover and interior art. (Let's just say that the pieces I've seen so far make me very, very happy.)

Stay tuned for more information...

This is awesome news! Are you coming this year?

Congratulations!

I'm guessing from "gobsmacked" that the shock hasn't worn off enough yet to just be basking in the glow of being finished. *g*

Oh well done, that's brilliant! Wheee! *g* I hope it'll be available to those of us over the other side of the pond as well..?

Yay! Yet another reason to look forward to CQ! And, boy, isn't it a relief as well as a great feeling of accomplishment? Well done!

Excellent news! It's great to know that you've got everything done and dusted in time for Close Quarters!

I'm really looking forward to seeing the zine, especially when the story's accompanied by Lorraine's always brilliant artwork.

Well done!

I can't wait to read it! Unfortunately, I have to, since I'm not going to the con this year. :-( But I do have someone who's going to pick me up a copy!

congrats!!!!

I wish I could make it to Close Quarters, but it's not looking likely. Will you have copies available for snail-mail order?

Congratulations!!! That's really great news. :D

*Knew* there was something I was forgetting to do.. and that was congratulate you on getting this up and ready - Well done!!!! It's a terrific accomplishment and you should be chest-bustingly proud of it, me dear.

I can't wait to buy it!

Congratulations! I know this was a long time coming. :-)

Congratulations indeed! This is really exciting. This is the novel that we talked about a couple of years ago, right? Or rather, the story that really needed to be a novel?

Congratulations

I will not be at Close Quarters but I will want a copy of your novel. Heck, I will drive to your front door to pick it up :-)

I am so happy for you.
