These days, the anticipation is keeping me awake at night. Mostly now it's about reviews and interviews. Waiting for the USA Today piece to see how much coverage I got and if I come off as a doofus. Waiting for that first major review. Waiting, waiting, waiting... …that it got better, but it doesn’t!

The book appeared before its due date. I wasn't around for the days when my wife was pregnant--that was several years before we met. However, she's told me stories about how glad she was to get that child out of her in the final weeks! Looks like I spawned an early delivery! The book appeared before its due date.

I'll write more about this later, but I have mixed feelings about finding out ROAD is out across the country already. I've been building myself up for this big day, Sept. 28, but now the book has snuck out on its own behind my back! Thanks for the report!

I got your book today, so you can add Portland, Oregon to your list of cities that are already selling the book. My local Borders had a copy mixed in with SK's books, so I snatched it up. It looks great and I'll probably start reading it soon. : ) BTW, I was also at Target and they had a bunch of copies of "From the Borderlands." The books were prominently displayed at the front of their ficion section. I know the suspense is killing you, but hang in there. The 28th is just around the corner. Bev!

I really thought I'd NEVER get rid of this huge lump I'd been carrying for nine months! I was so relieved she arrived on time! I'm sure your book will be as big a joy for you as Jess was for me Bev... perhaps I shouldn't compare a book to a child, but it's something you've created and nurtured all these months, so not entirely different in nature. I'm reading my way through the Dark Tower series like crazy so I can move on to your book as soon as I have finished them. Kxx Reminds me of how I felt in the last two weeks of my second pregnancy.

It comes out in December, but that still feels about forever away. Every day I think, "Okay, I'm another day closer now." Two and a half months wouldn't normally seem that vast a gulf of time to me, but right now it feels like I have an expanse of centuries, perhaps eons, to cross before I make it to Publication Day. It's kind of pathetic, really, but I could no more *not* feel this way than I could will the earth to stop spinning. That post perfectly sums up how I feel waiting for my book.

Killing me! That I can't read The Road yet becuase I have to wait for the final book. It's sitting here nicely on my desk next too LIttle's The Resort mocking me. It’s killing me I tell ya!
