I knew it all along. Congratulations. You deserve it. No joke. Just fine writing, or else you wouldn't have such awesome fans.
Wow! Fantastic! Congrats, Michael. This is sure a feather in your cap.I loved the comparison paragraph.
Congrats Michael!!! It was great to be a small part that helped you receive the recognition you undoubtedly deserve!
WOOHOO! I am so happy for you both! :-) I think it's well-deserved, and the only thing making it surprising is the lack of a major publisher! ;-) Enjoy your win! :-)
Awesome!! Great job everyone! Now it's time to PARTY!!!
Well, it seems you have a very faithful and determined group here. :) Glad to hear we could help get you to a wonderful point with the book. The little guys can come out on top sometimes. CONGRATS on the win!!!P.S. I'm going to make sure I don't upset all the others here. I don't want on there bad side either. ;)
So now that we have this one under our belt, what is the next challenge? :)

LOL Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that it's already all written - he just needs to hone it, edit, etc.
Details, Heather! Is the book in my hot little hands being read? No! Therefore, Michael needs to hurry up.;-)
Mod
You'll just have to start another one, Michael. Can't disappoint the fans!;-)
"We are the champions, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!"Look, democracy, contrary to popular belief, is not dead after all!

I don't know details. I just remember Michael and/or Robin saying he's already written the whole series. Perhaps I misread something, though.
Michael wrote: "Once the series is out in total, you will have nothing more to look forward to except fan fiction, and bad movie adaptations. Enjoy the wait while you can."Or a new series? ;) I'd love to see a movie, doesn't mean it has to be bad though lol.
I NEVER expected this to happen. Robin and I were both stunned that Avempartha was even picked as one of the 64 best books of 2009. I actually thought this might be some kind of a joke, or at least the result of the selection committee needing one more and not caring what it was since it didn't have a chance to win anyway.
Clearly what they could not have foreseen, was the strength and determination of all you folks. I had no idea you were so powerful. You took out a bestselling author and two Hugo nominated novels! Remind me not to get on your bad side.
Thanks again everyone, you've all been truly great!
