I've been waiting a long time for this, and now I can't keep up with all these long-awaited new books! Congratulations big-time, Michael--and Alex too.

Congratulations, Michael!
Good luck with this major achievement!

Alex has done rather an extraordinary thing by deciding to publish not just the winner, but the finalists as well for the Able Muse book competition. Kudos to our leader. Alas, I was unable to attend Pooch's reading in Grand Forks last night, but I'll see him at West Chester, and I'll see Michael there or in Newburyport in June.

Congratulations, Michael - as others have said, it's a beautiful book - can't wait to (re)read it.

Congratulations, Michael.

I've just ordered it and eagerly await its arrival.

Jayne

It's a great book - with a fine Venetian poem, I'm happy to say.

Congratulations great looking book!

Tricks of the Amazon.com masters (Not I -- someone else gave me the idea): it turns out that if you order Life in the Second Circle on Amazon.com and pre-order Alicia Stallings' Olives at the same time, you can get free shipping: plus, at least in my case, they broke up the shipment so the Second Circle was shipped the same day it was ordered. Not a bad deal.

Hearty congrats, Michael. I'm looking forward to this.

Dave

Well done and well deserved, Michael. Looking forward to reading it.
