At the very least, click on the link to see the GORGEOUS cover Michael Whelan did for us.
And a reminder -- all proceeds for the book are going to benefit the Save the Children Tsunami Relief Fund.
Hopefully Amazon will have a more detailed description and a list of the contributors from Tor up soon - I'm hoping to garner a name under the "Boot Campers Success Stories" so everyone can read all about it.
Hooray!!

I cried when I finished copyediting the manuscript. It's an AMAZING collection.

Thanks, everybody...it still makes me smile.
Now I have to stop myself from being one of those people that checks my book on Amazon every 2 seconds. (Did you see? Someone must have bought the hardcover - it was ranked as "none" yesterday, and now it's something like 111,000! Mwahahahaha!) <----like that.
