Rejoicings for the presence of Derek and Dogstar.

For they are indeed amongst us. They're so beautiful. It's almost absurd. We're really very smug. We've started sending out the complimentary copies of both titles and we'll resume doing so at the beginning of next week, because the post-sorting-person understandably has conniptions if you try to bury her entirely underneath 57 moderately bulky envelopes or however many it is. All the orders have been fulfilled though. Good. You ought to buy these books, you know. Really you ought. Derek and More Micro-Fiction sports the last Matt-designed cover and The Dogstar and Other Science Fiction Stories has an equally brilliant Ceci-designed cover and there are many and varied, you know, words inside and it's all just a bit divine. And they're heavy and shiny and bookish. We love them obscenely much.

Ukraine and Other Poems next. Shockingly soon, actually, and Naked Thighs and Cotton Frocks and Other Stories not long after. It's brilliant. It's like we're eating nothing but oats and steroids.

Sam.

Oh I'm so excited! Well done to everyone on the hard work. The Dogstar cover is indeed brilliant, so well done to Ceci!

And well done, Matt, even though he's not here to get the well dones. But I hope you'll pass them on.

Thank you, Sally. Hope your copy arrives soon. I'm sure Matt still reads the blog, but we'll certainly pass your comments on.

Sam.

My copy arrived this morning. I am so impressed! The small picture on the leaf site really doesn't do it justice. The production values are marvelous.

Thank you all so much for letting me be a part of this.
