I also feel really happy for myself, because I have a hard copy of the best superhero novel ever. By the way, looking at the actual book in my hand, I feel really happy for you, Mur.

Amazon finally shipped my copy of PFK that I ordered on the 25th. I'm usually content to be a creepy little lurker, but I just had to add my own (belated) chest bump to the mix. Good on you, Mighty Mur! No one deserves this success more than you. Not only has your hard work entertained me, but it's also inspired me--I'm actually WRITING again! I'm keeping up with my daily word count (usually) and I'm feeling more and more confident in my ability to tell a compelling story. This in turn allows me to hold my head a bit higher when dealing with dastardly villains (Boo! Hiss!) and a crappy day job. You are my inspiration, my hero--unless you prefer heroine! Oh, excuse me. Please forgive the gush. Gosh, does this make me one of Mur's Bitches? Yay! Amazon finally shipped my copy of PFK that I ordered on the 25th.

I guess that means they've sold out all they had on hand. A good thing I got to hear the story or the waiting would stink... So I also ordered Philipa Ballantine's Chasing the Bard and Digital Magic to read while I wait.

I have ordered it but I think it was out of stock or something. It looks like you will be reprinted. That should make them sit up and take notice!
