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.

So, in response to # 3 - thank you so much for writing these amazing books, and for making me do silly things like reading way into the night, buying hardcover books, re-reading the books over and over again! I made my best friend read the books too, just to have someone to TALK to and she also loved them. My partner has read "Mélusine" and "The Virtu" and will read the other books at some point too.
