Congrats!!!

Also: WTF about the Subterranean story? That doesn't sound like Bill to buy a story then not publish it for almost half a freakin' decade! You might want to send him an email...

This is incredibly awesome news! Congratulations, Jason! I hope you can get US distribution, but at least tell us how we can import it, yeah?

[jlundberg]

Thanks, Eugene! I'll definitely let you know. If nothing else, maybe I can distribute copies myself through Two Cranes. We'll see.

And like I said, we're seeing if interior art can be part of the budget. They're still a fairly small press, so it may not be financially feasible, but I'm hoping to get some illos.
