Gratitude

It's no secret that I've had a very good 2015.  Two books came out, to solid reviews and decent sales.  Even made the Locus Bestseller List one month.

Did I take the literary world by storm?  Are they beating a path to my door?  Is the truck coming over to
deliver the Scalzi Money?

No, that's not happening.  Not yet.  And that's all right.

Because as far as having a solid launch for a long literary career goes?  I feel like I'm in a great place.  I've done hard work and had good fortune, and this is the result.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to do this.  The opportunity to write and tell these stories.  To be able to bring Veranix, Satrine and Minox and all the rest of Maradaine into the world for you.  This is the dream I'm living now, and it's thanks to my family, friends and readers like you that I get to do this.

Next year, with The Alchemy of Chaos and An Import of Intrigue coming out, I'm only building on the good fortune I've already received.  And I have so much planned for you all, and I'm thrilled to be able share it with you.

Thank you, one and all.
