Today's the day! The eclipse is right on time!

It's official! Late Eclipses [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxy] is now available from fine bookstores everywhere in North America, and from many fine bookstores elsewhere in the world! HOORAY!

Here are a few things to help you celebrate:

Firstly, there are gorgeous Late Eclipses wallpapers and icons available now at my website! Dress your computer in its Toby-related finery, and enjoy Tara's increasingly incredible work every time you make a post or minimize your active windows. Wallpapers and icons from previous books are also available.

I've done a shiny new interview over at the Qwillery, and you can win a copy of Late Eclipses! Dust off your Shakespeare and get ready for a good time, or at least the kind of time that involves hearing about my writing process in faintly silly terms.

Because people ask a lot: every sale counts, and if it's a legit sale (IE, not from a guy in a trenchcoat standing behind the 7-11), I get paid for it. In order of "how helpful is this," it goes brick and mortar stores first, because a sale from them often leads to a re-order; online retailers second, since again, they have to restock when they run out; and ebooks third, as those never need to be replenished. Take two, they're small.

Finally, I am going to be at Borderlands Books this afternoon, doing a swing-through stock-signing. If you want a signed book, and will be unable to make my March 19th Borderlands event, you can call the store and place an order any time after 12:00 PST (when they open). I'm also willing to sign the first three books, Feed, Zombiesque, and Tales From the Ur-Bar (also coming out today).

Happy bookday to me!

Just started reading it on my Kindle during a late-night baby nursing session - loving it so far! :)
Awesome!
We shall see how quickly you stock books tomorrow, Kinokuniya! WE SHALL SEE!
(It's 1am. I'mnot that coherent. Shhh.)

Congratulations! Yay! Yay!

I will be unable to attend the Borderlands event (darn it). If you're attending Consonance this weekend might you be open to signing a book or two? Not that I don't expect to see you later this year or anything ...
I'll be there on Saturday, and I'm happy to sign books, as long as you don't grab my arm while I'm running into the bathroom (which, yes, ACTUALLY HAPPENED last year).

Happy bookday, sweetie.
Thank you!
My copy of the book was preordered and is winging its way here, yay.

Having read "The Tolling of Pavlov's Bells", I'd be... uneasy about going to a book signing of yours!

Have fun.
That's fair!
The bookstore just called to tell me that it's in. Yay.
Hooray!
I have the ebook now and the paperback is coming this afternoon. I find it handy to have both versions in case I find someone to loan the series to. Besides, the covers are works of art and look good on my bookshelves.
I appreciate this approach.
Yay! Congratulations!

My entire family is eagerly awaiting the second Newsflesh book, too (rather impatiently, in the children's case!)
*bounce* Me too! I can't wait til May!

Happy bookday! (NTS - the library copies need to get ordered....)
Yay!
Got it at lunchtime!
Yay!
Happy Bookday! Mine should arrive in the mail sometime in the next 12 hours, and I can't wait to get stuck in.
Awesome!

Fantastic.
Take two, they're small.

I pre-ordered through the University Bookstore in Seattle. And guess what? I accidentally DID order two! (I am trading it to my friend for food stuffs)
I'm part of a functional barter economy!
I'll hit our local orderer-of-overseas-awesome bookshop this afternoon and pester them if they don't already have it (they had the last three, so if they don't have it, they'll be getting it).

Happy bookday indeed!
I got it at Of Science and Swords today ! I was amazed !
Normally I hear about good books on the net, then wait weeks/months before they actually appear in Oz ...

Like, woo, dudette!
Totally!
Somehow, I think I can arrange to be there while you're signing books and pick up my copy, since I am already triple booked for that day, and still have a fourth 'should attend' gathering.

Though, I wonder if I can go to the book signing anyway... it would be possible, just tricky.
Whoops. We totally spaced on this.

Happy Bookday!!

Those wallpapers imply Toby gets hold of Anduril. Now there's a crossover for the ages...
Anduril?

UPS said "out for delivery" when I got up today but I couldn't wait, so I bought it for my Kindle at my morning break. This should minimize fighting over the book somewhat also, when we all want to read it at once.
Woo!
I'm about to leave an hour early so I can pick up the book and also some lunch, since otherwise real food on Tuesdays can be a dicey proposition.
Excellent.
SQUEEEEEEEEE! Paper copies, Kindle copies, and the most gorgeous, gorgeous cover!!!! It's even better in person than digital. Really it is.
BTW, the wallpapers are to die for. The one with the fan? Yummy!!!!

Ordered my copy just now. Happy Bookday, Seanan!
Thank you!
I has purchased! Along with a copy of Feed, since I've been meaning to read that for a while. Looking forward to it! :D

Happy bookday! Magically it appeared on my kindle overnight (yay! technology!) and will be waiting for me to read tonight. Chores? BAH, I say!

There's a gift card burning a hole in my pocket right now... I think that as soon as I'm done with my first read of LE, I'll be buying the previous three for a good old whole series reread. Oh, that sounds like a treat!!!!!
Woo!
Woot! I look forward to my copy!
Hope you like it!
I figure you're going to be doing a signing up here in Portland at Powells.

Would it be better for you if we waited to snag a copy at the signing (thus showing that we buy books when the authors are in town) or would it be better for us to buy one now and then have you sign it when you are here?

Enquiring minds want to know.*

*If we can't wait to read it, we can read the library copy. Either way, the book is getting bought.
I am not currently scheduled to do a Powells signing, actually. :( If you're looking for a signed copy, your best bet is to go through Borderlands, where they will happily ship.
