Man, this has been a long fucking time coming:

Available now, everywhere. If they don't have it on the shelf, they can get it for you.

Meanwhile, the finale to the JDATE online alternate reality horror adventure:

Kind of an empty feeling, really. Seeing the thing in hardcover, and people reviewing it and such... I really hadn't planned beyond this point. And I mean my life; being a real writer guy was a childhood dream and that was pretty much it. I didn't dream of being a bestselling author, or being a famous author, or having books turned into movies or anything like that. I just wanted to write something and have people read it and treat it as a big deal.

Not sure where to go from here. Write another one, I guess.

I'm not unhappy about it, don't get me wrong. I'm not insane. Just that I really didn't think I'd make it this far.

My childhood dream is to kill a successful writer and impersonate him because of my sickening envy of how far he got.

Despite how creepy lanky emo child's comment to you is, I understand what you're saying. You get to a point and even though it's a good point, you don't know what to do. It's like you climb a mountain. You get to the top and...then what. Do you stay there and enjoy the view forever? Or do you climb back down knowing you'll have to climb another one to get a view like that. Luckily though, I have full faith in your ability to climb mountains.

You did a great job on the book and I cant wait to read more from you.  I have the paperback copy that I bought a couple years ago and I also ordered the hardcover.  Cant wait for the movie to come out.. I wont even download it.  I'll actually pay to go see it in theaters  :D

Keep up the great work online and offline.

Yeah, I bet that does feel a bit odd. Congrats, by the way.
I'd suggest just keep doing what you love!

Just got home from work with the new book! Looks great on the shelf next to the old paperback. Still the best fucking book I've ever read.

Well ready or not you made it now. And like it or not there's a lot of us out here still supporting you. The book is just a start, you've got more in you. And I for one can't wait to see what it is... Though sometimes I miss PWoT, cracked just isn't the same. At the same time I've been pleased by all the successes you've had in the last few years. So I suppose I'll just say good job, good luck, and I'll be waiting to see what comes next. P.S. Could you tell John to upate juvenilecomedy.com more than 2 or three times a year?

Hell of a book.  Ridiculously hellishly so.  You've done superbly.
