    Cool. I really like that cover art. We should make that into a poster.

    Yes, I was quite impressed to see the announcement too, Night. I'm curious about the inside too; it certainly has an attractive cover. Yes, congratulations, Admin!

    Congrats Chris, I didn't know LitNet was trying to publish anything. I was quite surprised.

    wow! this is wonderful! Congratulations admin!!!
    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

    Its just the sonnets, there is an index to first lines at the back. Mostly its meant to be marketed to the readers of the Sonnet A Day newsletter.

    I figured that rather than market someone else's book, I might as well publish and market my own.

    You're not claiming to be William Sakespeare now. I knew you were talented, but I didn't realize how much.

    No, definitely not William Shakespeare. I was speaking from a publisher's standpoint, not an author's.

    congrats Admin!
    How many people are there on the Sonnet A Day mailing list? Are they only litnet members or other people as well?

    When are you going to publish a book of our stories and make us famous?
