I love Yorkshire! I went to Bradford University for a year when I was in college. Ahh ... Haworth ... York Minster ... endless curries ... the wonderful Yorkshire accent ...

Your book sounds wonderful - congrats on your deal! If only 2010 weren't so far away.

Oh, yay Yorkshire! We live on the edge of Leeds, right next to Bradford, actually - until I got pregnant, we went to Bradford for curries at least once a month! (I'm hoping to get back to that habit as soon as the baby's out and the heartburn finally goes away...)

Thanks so much for the congrats! And ohhh, I am already counting down the days until 2010! :)

Welcome Stephanie! And big big congrats on the baby-in-progress, Kat, and the dual citizenship! Sounds like life is GOOD. So happy to be sharing the Odyssey with you. :)

Thank you! Life is REALLY good this year - it makes me both really, really happy and really, really nervous! ;) I'm so glad to be sharing the Odyssey with you, too! :)

Congratulations on the baby too! I have a three month old baby daughter and did a full line edit on SEA while I was huge...my belly bumping into the keyboard! Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?

Thank you! And oh, it's so good to hear your experiences. I will be doing the majority of my revisions for Kat when the baby is around 3-4 months old, I think, so I REALLY need to hear reassuring stories about moms managing to write with babies around! :) We don't know yet if it's a boy or a girl...so it'll be a great surprise in October!

You're welcome! I commented more based on your other comment--you can totally do it. Especially if it's your first baby (only kid) I have a five year old too so it's pretty wild now, but you can totally do it!

Babies need their mama and you'll be so in love with your baby--it'll all work out--and it's all a balancing act--!

=D
