Today is the official release date for A Local Habitation [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxy], available now in bookstores across North America. The Kindle edition comes out on March 9th; I do not know why there is a week's delay between the two, but it's a great opportunity for you Kindle-lovers to pick up a physical copy, read it, and give it your local women's shelter. ;)
Because this is What We Do Around Here, I present our resident little dead ghoul, Mel, all dressed up for the occasion. Not that she has anywhere to go, as she has a tendency to get herself barred from all pleasant social venues. Something about killing the other patrons...
But yes, it is my release day. I have an Amy and several puffy cats, and have thus far resisted the urge to smack my head against anything. Now help the bookstores empty their shelves by rushing out and bringing Toby home with you!
I checked the Borders site this morning and found out that the Salem (OR) store is SOLD OUT, as is one store in Vancouver, WA. The closest Borders that has Toby in stock is Corvallis (about an hour from my office). Or up in Portland (also about an hour from my office). I'll try the independent bookstores at lunch...maybe my goal of having Toby to keep me company during tomorrow night's sleep study won't be unreachable after all! Fingers crossed...
Crisis averted! My fabulous husband is going to Corvallis to get some feed for the horses and goats...and will call me when he's there so I can tell him where Borders is. I've put a copy on hold under his name....so hopefully I'll have Toby by the time I get home tonight! YAYYYYY!
Congrats on the Salem/Vancouver sellouts, by the way. If I wasn't already impressed with your work, I would be now!!
