Today's been an interesting day. The first copies of Inheritance have slipped out into the hands of readers. I have had the fun of watching one reader comment as he goes on through the story, asking a couple of questions. It's an oddity of the internet that we can be so close to our readers...

I also had an eagle eyed reader spot a link between The Steel Man and a story from Angel Road, The Pain, Heartbreak and Redemption of Owen Frost. It is great when these little links are picked up. So thank you. You know who you are.

Add to that Instapundit featured Elemental, the new antho I co-edited for Tor. For those of you that don't know, in the libertarian & conservative blogging world, Instapundit is king. What was the effect of this short feature? Elemental broke the Amazon bestsellers list as a top ten best seller in the anthologies catagory - and it still isn't out for several months. What a brilliant feeling it was though, seeing Elemental at #7.
