I had a bit of a long day today, but I found this waiting for me when I got home.

Thank you for the story. I got to read a treeware ARC of "Best of JBU" and
enjoyed the hell out of it. It stands up well amongst its neighbors in the
volume, and that's a major compliment!

All I can say is wow. I've been writing for a while now, and this is the first time I've ever gotten feedback out of the blue on my work. It's a good feeling. A darn good feeling in fact. First, someone not only enjoyed my work, but enjoyed it enough to seek me out and tell me so.

Then there's that last part. If you haven't seen the table of contents for The Best of Jim Baen's Universe, you don't know just how much of a complement that is. Some of the names on the list are Mike Resnick, who has 5 Hugos and a Nebula; Elizabeth Bear, who has a Campbell award; Gregory Benford who has a couple of Nebulas; David Drake; L. E. Modesitt, JR.; David Freer and a lot of others. Seriously, having someone tell me my work compares favorably to these people is the highest of complements.

I officially declare today a good day.
