I am not moving to San Francisco.
I am not engaged to Stephen Fry. I am not America's Next Top Model. I am not playing Xerxes in O, Leonidas!, the upcoming Broadway musical version of 300 by Stephen Sondheim.
I am not joining the Benedictines, the Rockettes, the Sisters of Mercy or the Foreign Legion.
I am writing a book to be published by Interweave Press in the fall of 2008.
I am excited. I am grateful to all of you for your encouragement.
Thank you for asking.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 245 of 245Okay, so I haven't read all the multitude of comments, but allow me to join what appears to be the general chorus so far: Yay! Yahoo! Yippee! About freaking time a publisher got the word! Please, please, please come to Northern Virginia on your book tour! Or, at least, DC! I will buy a copy! Really! I will!

Wow, Franklin! That is fantastic. I am so happy for you. It is really nice to see that good things happen to good people - such as yourself!
AWESOME!
So, where's the preorder list?
You just made my day.
Congratulations!
Congratulations! Hope it includes some of your inventive cartoons!
I am so glad that others saw the greatness in you that we all did...may it evolve into a "real job" so that you may control your own destiny!
Congratulations...you earned it!
WOOHOO! Congratulations! If your book tour (!) brings you to Eastern Canada, I'll be first in line.
BIG HUG!

Congrats! Since I guessed it in the comments, do I win your autograph? It's great but you would have had a lovely time with the Benedictines.

So I guess you, too, will be needing better underwear.

I'll take two! Can't wait to see it on the bookstore shelves!
Heartiest congratulations! (glad you're not pregnant)
Congrats to you. I can't wait to see your book.
That's phenomenal!! You must be so excited. Congrats.
At last! Congrats.
YAY! Congrats!!
Can't wait to buy this book, congrats Frankline. I love your blog
Congratulations!! About time someone gave you a deal!
Okay, there are 200+ people ahead of me and I'm not even reading there comments....but hurrah! I am so pleased!
Oh wait, this might mean we don't get as much blog time....boo!
But a book! Hurrah!!
Adding my voice to the choir: congratulations!
Speculations abound: lace and the history of lace? photography? I'll try to be patient.
Wonderful news!!!!
Can't wait til it hits the shelves! Yaaay, Franklin!
Yay, hooray!
Congratulations! I can't wait to hear about the process... and to read the book when it's published. :) Will there be a book tour?
Congratulations Franklin!! I look forward to reading it.
Its about time! Contratulations! I have actually met a BIG TIME author! Pre-Orders????
waHOO! Congratulations!
I don't actually care that much what kind of book it is. Illustrations a plus, but not required. Knitting content a plus for me; easy on the knitting content would make it easier to justify foisting copies on all my friends and relations.
But really it's very simple: you write it, I will buy it and love it.
Wonderful news. I hope that it is a collection of your cartoons and drawings so I can tidy my desk. I have several lying about. I also will be eagerly awaiting the release date. Looks like Harry has been taking lessons from Delores.
Wow, so far from where you were: Abigail,Tom, 1000 Knitters, better job responsibilities, a book... all after that dark period. Katrina
Whew. would have been ackward to explain that I frequent the blog- of a pregnant, homosexual, photographer/knitter.....
it's really the pregnant part that would be weird.
Many congrats! When can we pre-buy on amazon?

ps my verification "word" is knggyms is that a hint that we need to go to the gym for our kng?
Congratulation! You get fame - we get to read the book!! Sometimes, it's closer to a perfect world.
Congratulations!
(what's it about, huh, huh, huh?)
Congrats!
I have been wondering why other bloggers with less talent have been writing books, and you haven't - now, I can relax and wait for an enjoyable book!
Congratulations Franklin! You deserve it :)
Congrats! I'm looking forward to it! Though from what I've heard about writing for a living, you'd probably make better money if you were pregnant.
DAMN i'm good! I knew it! Even tho you never reply to my messages can you please send me an autographed copy to one of the tall buildings in New York City?
kthxbai!!!
PS: congratufreakinlations!! :o)
Hmm a little worried about dolores and this project....... I don't see her as conducive to writing on deadline....
There are already 240 comments ahead of mine, but I must say
"Hooray!"
and
"Well done you."
So proud. You're fab.
Congratulations!! This is one book I will be pre-ordering the minute Amazon lets us do so.
If it's even a shadow of your wonderful blog, it will be a best-seller.
Congratulations! Now you'll HAVE to come to the NYC area to give a reading or something.
Stephen Fry - the original Norfolk Broad - says to tell you he is devastated - he thought he was engaged to you - and when did it stop?!
congrats - well done - looking forward to it!
Franklin - a belated congratulations - I look foward to reading it!!!

Many congratulations and well wishes! I'll be looking forward to your book.
It can't truly work, I think this way.
