Not that she won't be happy to do that anyway, given half a chance.
With Rosemary and Rue officially hitting shelves one week from today (and unofficially hitting shelves all over the planet as I speak), I'm a little tense, twitchy, and flipped-out, but I've mostly reached a state of mellow acceptance. I expect this to last, oh, about as long as anything else has in the past few weeks, but at least I'm getting work done during this little lull.
So here's our Mel, reminding you what's important for the weeks to come:
Thanks, everybody, for being a part of the pre-release madness. It's been awesome.

Just so that Toby doesn't feel like she's being left out and, I don't know, come for me in the night.reminds me of a quote from one of the Amazon reviews I saw yesterday...
"In less than the first 100 pages, October "Toby" Daye, a half-breed Daoine Sidhe and former street kid, is cursed twice, loses everything she holds dear, winds up in a job she hates and has an unpleasant encounter with the King of Cats. Frankly, if I were Toby and I met Seanan on the street, I would punch her."

NY sighting of Rosemary and Rue in the wild!

No sighting in Penn Books (Penn Station, NY - LIRR level) :(
I had a few minutes, so I went upstairs the borders on ground level, just outside Madison Square Garden
1 copy in the Science Fiction Section and on the new in paperback section, a full stack (at least 6-8 copies) of Rosemary and Rue. (Back row, right under the books that have the cover facing out.) The stack was on the side facing the front door.

Also, Scott has finished the book so now I can reread it. :D He liked it quite a bit, shorted his sleep last night to finish. :)

That would be the lovely Naomi Novik, just after receiving a copy of your book from Diana Fox.
It's a real book! Congratulations!
