Wow! That's terrific news--for all of us as much as for you, because that sounds like a book I would really love to read. Congratulations!

Also, I finished "Five Hundred and Forty Doors" in Twenty Epics on my commute this morning and enjoyed it immensely. You left us hanging at the reading at Wiscon and I only just got to read the collection. I heard it in your voice all the way through :) Good stuff.
