scarlettinaWell, actually, it's a proof/ARC, but it's in my hands! ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
the_monkey_king and I met for coffee this weekend, and he gave me a copy of one of the first two proofs produced of the Kobold Guide to Combat. So, of course, we had to take a new-book selfie. I've had a bad patch lately, feeling like I'm not doing All The Things I should be, feeling like I'm not accomplishing much of anything new or interesting or special. Between the TEC award and the proof of the book, I've got tangible evidence that this is just not true. And--bonus--it's lovely to be able to do a project like this and share it with friends. I am truly blessed.
I should also note that, in related news, the Kobold Guide to Worldbuilding, which I not only edited but in which I also have an essay, will be appearing in Mandarin! Look!
This is just a pic of the cover; we won't have hard copies in hand for a little while yet. This makes the fourth language in which my work has appeared, including English, Hebrew and Greek. I kind of love that with Mandarin, my work has appeared in three languages with completely different alphabets.
This is all feeling pretty good. It's nice to have reasons to celebrate.
