Woohoo!

My very first listing on Amazon! I'm so proud...

Elemental: The Tsunami Benefit Anthology: New Stories of Science Fiction and Fantasy
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0765315629/102-7870951-2732969?v=g lance&n=283155&n=507846&s=books&v=glance

At the very least, click on the link to see the GORGEOUS cover Michael Whelan did for us.

And a reminder -- all proceeds for the book are going to benefit the Save the Children Tsunami Relief Fund.

Hopefully Amazon will have a more detailed description and a list of the contributors from Tor up soon - I'm hoping to garner a name under the "Boot Campers Success Stories" so everyone can read all about it.

Hooray!!

Thanks, everybody...it still makes me smile.

Now I have to stop myself from being one of those people that checks my book on Amazon every 2 seconds. (Did you see? Someone must have bought the hardcover - it was ranked as "none" yesterday, and now it's something like 111,000! Mwahahahaha!) <----like that.
