Today is my birthday.  Yes, it is.  And I am sixty years old.

On some other occasion I'll ruminate on the irony of arriving here, which is much, much further along the timeline than I thought I'd get.  But for this morning, I'll thank all! of the folks, from Maine to Surebleak, judging from FB, LJ, and private email, for the birthday wishes.  I'm overwhelmed.  Really.

Since it is my birthday, and I get, at least in a very small way, to set today's rules of engagement, I'd like to give y'all a gift.

You know that proposal for five Liaden books that we had pitched to Madame the Agent at the beginning of the summer?  Which she subsequently pitched to Madame the Editor?

The proposal has been accepted; the books have been sold.

Thank you.

Sharon

P.S.  Regarding the above -- no, we don't know pub dates; no, we don't know the titles --  might be Bridgett, Fred, Lou, Beth, Ellen. . .  We'll let you know these things as we know them.

In the meantime. . .watch the skies.

And welcome to your sixties, my best years so far -- though being 65 was a bit of a shock to my system for some reason. Thank you for the birthday gift, it is truly a gift. Wonderful anticipation.

Wishing you a very calm and happy birthday, Sharon. You are just about exactly a month younger than I am, as I had my 60th on 7 August. Enjoy your birthday, enjoy all the GOOD things about being the grown up you wanted to be when you were little - not having to go to bed at a certain time, being able to read what you want when you want, having a car, having money in your pocket for a snack or a movie without asking someone for it, and being able to read in the adult section of the library OR the children's section.

Happy Birthday! A Gandalf fireworks display seems appropriate.

A very Happy Birthday and while gifts usually go to the honoree, you couldn't have given us the readers a better give that new Liaden books to come.
Thank you.

Good thing my kids are already awake, because I just whooped with glee. Srsly. Out loud. Loudly.

Yay!

Many happy returns of the day! -- My bro turned 60 last month. He's my younger bro by 3 years, BTW. You got one of those "two-way" gifts -- a gift for you -- five more books' worth of income, and a gift for us -- five more Liaden books incoming! Hope you and Steve get to do something special/nice for your birthday.

Happy Birthday

May I add my birthday wishes for the day and many more to come. And of course, thanks for your gift to us with the news of 5 Liaden books sold!

May your sixties be as pleasant and fun for you as they have been for me: I turned 65 in July!
