Glad to hear things are going well so far, and keeping my fingers crossed on the future! Terran is of course adorable (even someone who doesn't like babies like me can see that), and I hope you're savouring every minute of your new life with him....
On the book-baby front, it occurred to me that you might want to send a review copy of Thunderstone to the book reviewer at F&SF, Charles de Lint (if you don't know his work, check him out - he's one of the pioneers of what's now known as "urban fantasy," an absolutely wonderful writer). You can send it to him at P.O. Box 9480, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1G 3V2. I thought of this because the new issue arrived here today, but it's a good idea. He's an excellent reviewer, very encouraging of new voices in sf/f, and if he likes your book, he'll likely review it in the magazine (okay, it doesn't have huge subscription numbers, but it's still the single most influential fantasy magazine in the world). Even if he doesn't like it, he's the sort of thoughtful person who'd likely send you a letter about his reasons for not liking it.... Worth a try, eh? And it'd only take a few moments to package and post the book!
