Wicked girls are prepared for salvation.

I am in Australia, and I am making a wonderful announcement, thus solidifying this as the best week ever. To be precise:

Pre-orders for Wicked Girls, my third studio album (and the official follow-up to Stars Fall Home), are now officially open! Pardon my squealing, and with big, big thanks to porpentine, who has made the magic go once again. Featuring performances by Kristoph Klover, Michelle Dockrey, Amy McNally, SJ Tucker, Betsy Tinney, and probably several other people that I've managed to temporarily forget, this is probably my favorite album to date. Seriously, I think I'm finally figuring out what it is I'm doing. It brings the good. It brings the sweet. And it brings the AWESOME.

To place your order, go to:

https://seananmcguire.com/secure_order.php

Pre-orders follow this price scale:

* $18.00 USD: First domestic pre-order.
* $16.00 USD: Second domestic pre-order.

* $20.00 USD: International pre-order.
* $16.00 USD: Second international pre-order.

This is because of the way the mailing costs work. A third CD would cost the same as a first; this assumes that the CDs are being shipped together. So two CDs to the same US address would be $34.00, but two CDs to two different US addresses would be $18.00 each. Hope that's not too confusing.

(Basically, all pre-orders are a base cost of $15.00, plus shipping.)

We're taking three hundred total pre-orders, then closing it down; depending on how fast they come, and when we hit three hundred, there may be a small overage, but not much. Since we also need to pay mixing costs, we're taking album sponsors; you can submit sponsorships through the order form. We'll do our best to include all sponsors in the liner notes, although late sponsorships may not be included.

You can view the track list here:

http://seananmcguire.com/albums.php

The track order is by no means finalized, but it's almost there. I'll keep you posted as pre-orders progress, and will be posting weekly with the "where we are in the process" updates.

Questions? Comments? Glee!

Hurrah!

When I go to the order form, there is only one option available, which is $16 + shipping. Are there supposed to be choices? Do I recall that with this system, I submit an order, and then the Internet will get back to me in a couple days to take the correct amount of money from me? I don't require shipping, for instance.

You do realize I'm going to send "The Ghost of Lilly Kane" to Rob, right? Just a heads-up.

There aren't supposed to be more options currently available, no; it's a holdover from when the order form was handling multiple CDs, rather than the current setup where we handle pre-orders, but normal sales go through local filk dealers or CD Baby.

As for payment, that depends on how you're planning to pay. Upon submission, you'll immediately be presented with a Paypal button if you want to pay that way, that will automatically do the math for domestic vs international shipping based on number of CDs, and include any sponsorship amount you entered. There aren't any plans currently to include a codified "I will get this from you locally with no need for shipping costs or handling hassles", because verification would be too much work without having some sort of account system set up to work with the preorders. You can certainly submit an order to get your spot reserved, then work out with Seanan through personal channels for hand-adjusted payment costs.

However you pay (Paypal, check, cash), the Intertubes will get back to you in a few days when payment in whatever form's been confirmed as received.

*sob* I keep trying to order, but it says all the fields are filled in wrong! What can I do? O:(

Look to see which field name is highlighted in red. If you're sponsoring you need to just put in the number, not a dollar sign. (That's what tripped me up, anyway.)

Is Canada being counted as domestic? Because it's automatically charging me $18.

Wait, never mind. Just read the note at the top of the order page. lol

Just by the way, congratulations on your Pegasus nomination!

My Evil Plan had been to get "Another Mad Science Love Song" nominated. That plan fell through, but I have no complaints whatsoever about "What a Woman's For" being nominated instead.

Thank you so much! It rocks.

I found the page to order from late last night. Ordered 2 copies with a small amount extra toward sponsoring. I look forward to hearing good news from Australia this weekend and congratulations on the Pegasus nomination.

On seeing this post, I immediately ordered a CD for myself.

Only coming back later do I realize I forgot to comment.

So, as Kermit the Frog put it:

"Yay!"

(Imagine extended vowel sound and flapping of limbs.)

I have duly imagined them.

The cover is so gorgeous! My compliments to Tara. The concept comes across beautifully.

She did just an amazing job.

At long last! Pre-orders away!

By the way, it is so totally cool to see you posting from the FYOOchur.

Have pre-ordered my copy, and am so excited for this album!

Ordered a copy.

Mentioned that pre-orders are available on the YouTube video of "Wicked Girls," although I didn't mention where. Anybody that wants the CD can do the legwork.

Going to make dinner. And try to figure out why I'm typing like this.
