Congratulations

When I get home from work, I'm going to buy the book, I am really curious now.

Enjoy it, Sandra

I hope you don't mind paperback, as that's all I have right now.

My publisher is still working on getting ebooks out in the public for sale, but he's kinda tied up with other things right now. Especially sorting out a few technical issues with his printers (printers go boom!

), plus the spring event rush. As soon as ebooks are available, I'll let everyone know.

Congratulations, Steven! Wonderful news

Huzaa! Huzaa! Huzaa! Three cheers For Steve

Congratulations to the award.

Congratulations !

Edit.

Steven Lake · 03-06-2010, 04:21 PM

Dadioflex, there's an explanation behind that. They were up and running for a long time before this, but someone got their panties in a knot (likely didn't like the fact that they got a bad book review and decided to retaliate) and had the site DMCA'ed and taken down by blogspot. And when I say taken down, I'm talking a full blog deletion 100% with no backup and no way to undo the "mistake".

Read here for the explaination:

And no, they didn't ask us to pay for anything. They gave me and my publisher both our awards for free. I've gotta go down and pick up the official certificate monday. And even if they are some tiny little establishment with like zero clout in the writing world, the fact that I even have an award will go over big with prospective buyers.

Just FYI in case anyone wanted to know what the award looked like (it's really nice) and even proof that it exists, in case anyone was doubting.

Steve, Congratulations! (I had to go back to change my listing-take off the Lord R)

I found the page with the list of awards given by them. It's a beautiful looking award and nice write up!
Congratulations, again. (If it was mine, I'd probably smile and glow inside every time I looked at it.)
I hope you have it displayed someplace prominent.

Steven Lake · 03-12-2010, 05:45 PM

Yeah, sorry about the name change Dreams. ^_^;; I'm right now passing on my tech site to new owners, so the title of "Lord Raiden" is being handed off to new keepers.

And since I'm writing under my proper name, I figured it best to make a few changes accordingly.
