Paper is beautiful…

Got a wonderful surprise on my birthday:  several hardcopies of “The Earth Is All That Lasts” showed up from my publisher.  Thanks, Shahid!  I like ebooks, I read them all the time, but there really is nothing like the trill of seeing your name on the glossy cover of a beautiful, thick, honest-to-goodness paper book.  Whee!

And they are so much easier to autograph than the digital version!  <smirk>
