Sleep sound, John.
Whoo-hoo! Congratulations. I’m sure I’m not the only one eager to read it when it is published.
“Apply directly to forehead?”
*thump, thump, thump*
Instructions unclear, headache is now worse.
Well done! And I’m really looking forward to it, so rest, recover, and start writing again…
It’s kinda like a Christmas present, knowing it’s done and ready to print. Or is the editing process now beginning?
Anyway- sleep and then enjoy the holiday. Hug the kitties. Eat too much. You know – all the good stuff.
Yay!
Yay!!!
Congrats! I’m looking forward to reading it when it comes out.
Finished?
Fine, you can take a brief rest break.
Brief!!
He’s turning into Yosemite Sam! Quick! Only true love’s kiss can save him before the conversion is complete!
Woo-hoo and congratulations! I know that feels good to have done at last. I am really, really, REALLY looking forward to reading this one.
Sleep well, sir, and have a wonderful holiday with your family!
Well done! Especially given how this year has been …
Congratulations, John. I know well the feeling of FINALLY finishing a big project and the relief of not having it hang over you anymore. I look forward to reading it. (To that end, if you’re looking for beta or even gamma readers…)
Excellent news! And finishing at 4:30 in the morning means that your copy editors will be really earning their paychecks :-). But seriously, Lock In was great, and I’m really looking forward to the sequel – due to hit shelves in April, right?
You’ve had a busy year, little man. Go ahead, take a couple days off. Then get back to it, because I can read faster than you can write. (And–SQUIRREL–btw, been meaning to say, Wil Wheaton’s reading of The Collapsing Empire was beyond brilliant.)
Hot damn. Good for you and good for us. A win win if you will. Now you can enjoy the Holidays in peace.
w00t!
Congratulations!
And what a relief for all of us.
Now get back to dance-monkeying for us.
Wait, no, I didn’t really say that. All I really said was Congratulations!!!
Sorry that the first thing I thought of when seeing that title was the (in)famous headache relief product.
“Head On – Apply Directly to the Forehead!”
Congratulations! Now take a much deserved rest and enjoy the Holidays with your family.
Congrats! And sleep well.
(Looks around for looming deadline of The Last Emperox off in the distance)
HOOO-RAHHHHH!
Did that last minute plot twist work out?
Yay!
You are the man! Slumber deep and dream sweet. You have more than earned it. 😳
Yeay!
Happy holidays! Enjoy them in peace :)
Bravo! I look forward to reading your latest creation!
Best wishes for the holidays and the new year to come!
Hearing that you finished the next novel is indeed one of the bright spots in a truly crappy year. Well done, sir.
So, after what you were feeling in January, compared to how you’ve done by this December, how did that work out? The same amount of books & Cons? Less?
(three more years to go…>.< good luck!)
Congrats, John! Looking forward to it. Get some rest, you earned it.
Congrats John!
Congrats!
Yay! Lock in was my favorite of your books because I like scifi, fantasy, and police procedurals, and you gave me all three! And now there’s (going to be) another one!
Was looking for a next read. Think it will have to be _Lock In_.
I still think the cover art suggests that the book should be called Head Off. Looking forward to it and to the Last Emperox.
Congrats! Now you can officially enjoy the holidays!
Thank you!!
Sleep well xo
Congratulations! You must be so relieved and happy– and rightfully so!
Will be looking forward to it
Yay! Oh yay!!!
Congratulations! I look forward to reading it!
Checked in because just received an email from AMZN that one of my favorite authors has a new book coming soon! (Don’t Live for Your Obituary: …) . Turns out he has two. Congrats and thanks!
Hooray! Can’t wait to get a copy.
Congratulations! Can’t wait.
Oh, congratulations! I guess you can breathe now. And enjoy yourself with a clear conscience. Go play for a while!
Congrats! Now you’ll have time to play on the “John Steps” that Mrs. S had built on the other wall!!
Congratulations! Now relax, enjoy family, sleep a bunch, and be cuddled by cats.
