A Prologue, Twenty Chapters, and More Than 120,000 Words

Where's Phil and the Amazing Bathmat when you need them? I want my million dollars!

Yes, that's right, I have finished Knife. And I am very happy about it.

*cries and hugs fellow authors*

Only a few last-minute edits, and this baby's off to New York. Then I'll start querying agents.

Phew! Thanks to everyone who's taken an interest.

Hooray! Congratulations! I look forward to seeing Knife on store shelves sometime in the not-so-distant future. :)

*cheers* Well done! Oh, how splendid. (I very much hope to see it in print in not too long a time--and am more than ready, based on what I've heard you say about it and the bits I've read, to pimp it to all my fantasy-loving friends.)

Hurrah!!! Very well done!

Congratulations! That's quite an achievement in and of itself--regardless of what happens to the ms in the future.

Go out and celebrate. (My novelist friend firmly believes in celebrating each and every little victory in the writing life, and not waiting until publication. And she is very right.)

After you've finished properly celebrating--and I'm not kidding--start writing the next one.

Congratulations and best of luck with the next stage.

Yay!!

So, how long will we have to wait for Fork, and Spoon?

And just to round off the "increasingly inaccurately named trilogy", Cruet. =:o}

Ah, but there are only two books in the series, so the sequel is in fact Spork. :D

Congrats on finishing it, and best of luck with the next round. Can't wait to read it (and pass it on to my fantasy-loving 10-year-old).

Huzza!!! I'll be first in line at the book signing. As soon as it's on the shelves, I will pester all to read it. Congratulations RJ....

Congrats! I know how hard it can be to write a book.

Congratulations! That's a lot of words. You must be incredibly proud of yourself.
