Hmm, several times people have said they hoped it sold a bazillion copies. That sounded good, but I'm having my doubts as to whether that's a real number... It might be safer to aim for a million.David Anthony Durhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13885922955551669016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158536.post-77409255700674644492007-06-19T10:36:00.000-04:002007-06-19T10:36:00.000-04:00David,I was so thrilled to see the mention in the ...David,<BR/><BR/>I was so thrilled to see the mention in the acknowledgements... my humble thanks!<BR/><BR/>I forgot how Acacia hooks you in the first few chapters!

Acacia still ranks as the best book I've read so far this year . . . you're on the shelf with Tolkien, some Dan Abnett, and my much beloved Pressfield :)<BR/><BR/>Hope your day was calm and memorable!Scott Odenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17917296669418463518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158536.post-76473874260811454652007-06-12T21:21:00.000-04:002007-06-12T21:21:00.000-04:00David, congratulations on Acacia!

Does it feel different from when Pride of Carthage came out? Different audience and all I mean? I'm anxiously awaiting my 'real' copy so I can see what I missed in the ARC and finally finish. <BR/><BR/>Tell your wife congrats, too! I started knitting a year ago, and knitty.com is one of my favorite sites- even if most of the patterns are over my head as of yet. My kids only will wear knitted beanies and socks. Teenagers. Can't live with them, can't sell them. <BR/><BR/>But you can cover their car with Silly String.Constance Brewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964121072645959593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158536.post-42189427912146119552007-06-12T20:24:00.000-04:002007-06-12T20:24:00.000-04:00Gerry,You're name is in there in the acknowledgeme...Gerry,<BR/><BR/>You're name is in there in the acknowledgements, you know.
