ecstaticPre-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:

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.

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!

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.

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.
