kickaha | Oh lord, what have I done...

Just signed a contract.

_Elemental Design Patterns_, from Addison Wesley Publishing, coming to a bookstore near you ~Q2 2011.

(Eek?)

ooh - you doing it all, or with co-authors?

Either way, good luck!

Solo. Halp.

:)

I can supply beer, food, and backrubs.

The trick is all three are located in Austin. :)

Meh, I'll wait for the movie.

Can't wait to see the CGI for the clash between the Fire and Water patterns.

BAYSPLOSIONS!

I thought we'd established that Bay was doing my biopic? It's Uwe Boll for you, my friend.

Screw that. Maybe Cameron will be available after Avatar does an Ishtar.

I'm hoping you also will get paid for this book about elementals and their designs.

That's the plan. :D Not likely to ever be a large amount, but it's more getting the ideas out there.

Awesomeness! Look forward to reading it! let me know if you need Beta proofing peoples.

Sweet! I may take you up on that. :)

Spiffy.

Danke! Going to be a hell of a lot of work. Hopefully worth it. :)

OMFG! That's awesome. Let me know if you need a cover designed. :)

Oh, PS - I know that cover's usually decided by the publisher. Still…

If I need one, I'll definitely give you a ring. :D (But I do think they cover that, no pun intended...)

Good luck and congrats!

Thanks! (runsscreaminginterroratimpendingtask)

Sweet! Congrats!

Thanks! :)

Nicely done! I look forward to not understanding it in new and exciting ways. Just don't include a CD with the book ;)
