Three things I need to share

1. (found via coffeeem)
"Stand By Me" by (RED)WIRE

This? Is amazing.

2. It's John M. Ford's birthday. Mike, wherever you are, I hope your birthday celebration is epic.

3. My gratitude. To everyone who reads my books. Everyone who buys a copy. Everyone who checks a copy out of the library. To everyone who blogs about my books or reviews them. Even if your review isn't positive, you're still taking the time to talk about my books, and I appreciate that. To every librarian who gets his/her library to buy my books. To every bookseller who hand-sells my books. To everyone who tells their friends to read my books or loans their copies out or buys my books as gifts. Seriously. I am deeply, deeply grateful to each and every one of you, and I feel like I really need to say that.

So, thank you. There are some really awful parts of being a writer, but you all are one of the things that make it worthwhile.

The Virtu is out of print in hardback, and that's unlikely to change, so your best bet is to try to find it remaindered or used. I'm sorry not to have a more satisfying answer.

Thank you :) It also seems to be out of print in paperback, which is just weird. I'll keep hunting!
