Hello my name is Ruthanna Emrys and I am a published novelist

[ashnistrike]

 Winter Tide is out in the world and making friends. The Hugos are almost puppy-free. And my town passed the first of two votes to become a sanctuary city in a landslide. I'm having a pretty good day.

I logged onto my kobo account last night and saw Winter Tide was available and bought it! I'm very excited to read it, but I am making myself finish my HL7 specification reading first.

[ashnistrike]

I hope you enjoy Winter Tide--and for that matter, that you enjoy the HL7 reading!

[oracne]

I enjoyed your book quite a bit!

[ashnistrike]

Thank you--I'm glad you liked it!

[gaudior]

Yay!

!! I read the first five chapters on Tor.com and immediately went to see if I could find it on Kobo and I DID. AND NOW I WILL HAVE ALL THE APHRA MARSH. (BTW, how do you pronounce her first name? Being from Mississippi, I keep going 'AP-hurah', because I can cram six syllables into a one syllable word.)

[ashnistrike]

Yay--hope you enjoy it! I pronounce her name Ah-fruh, with the same initial vowel as "apple."

[sporky_rat]

Aaah, many less syllables than I was using! :D

(My husband who is from Maryland laughs so hard when I can put six syllables in a two syllable word.)

I kinda broke my phone reading last night. Only sort of, though! Fortunately, I bought it on Kobo and it synced to my desktop as well. :D

I finished Winter Tide and Mr Wyatt would gently smack the back of my head for this, but will there be more of Aphra and everyone else? (I'm waiting a day before I start my slower re-read of the entire book.)

[ashnistrike]

I am just procrastinating on edits to the sequel now!

[sporky_rat]

You have made me very happy. And I love Miss Dawson. And Audrey.

Nice!

[ashnistrike]

The second just passed as well, so we are official!
