the very first copy

...of the first hard cover editon of Fire Along the Sky arrived here today. It's always a bit like seeing a baby for the first time, that same rush of relief and joy and utter terror.

I won't get more copies for another couple weeks at least, but let me take this opportunity to say: sign up if you're interested in winning a signed first edition, because I'm drawing the name out of the hat (box) on August 15. There are 94 entries thus far; if there are 200 entries by the fifteenth, I'll draw a second name and give away a second book. Here's the link to the contest entry. I will send the book anywhere in the world the winner happens to be, airmail.

I've read the rules for this contest and I agree to them.
Lawrenceville, GA, USA

So here I sat, thinking I was pretty good at this computer thing....but that URL thing started to freak me out (does that phrase give my age away?). Thank goodness you show an example entry for those of us who really don't know what we're doing.

I was introduced to your books about a year ago through a friend at work. She knew I was addicted to reading, and she couldn't believe that I had never read your work. I only had to borrow her copy of 'Lake in the Clouds' to read during lunch one day to get absolutely hooked. I'm looking forward to the new book and only hope that the local bookstore's shipment is on time. Thank you for all of your hard work! It is truly appreciated by your fans.
