If you’ve been waiting for the less-expensive, fit-the-shelves-better copies of Vincalis the Agitator to buy that one, you’ll be pleased to know that the mass market copies are available. I got my box of them yesterday; I usually get mine late, so they may have been on the shelves for a while without me seeing them (I don’t get out much.) Author’s copies are nice to get, though my favorites are still the box of Fire in the Mist that I received when that first came out. I took every single one of them out of the box, spread them out in a big block, and stared at them for … maybe an hour. It was a transcendent experience, the moment when dream became reality in a very tangible, visible, beautiful way, and nothing I’ve experienced with any of the later books I’ve written has quite equalled that one brief moment.

Looked at the due date for Vincalis, realized that it had to be mailed tomorrow. So no writing today. I’m proofing. Ugh.
