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!

The nice lady at Barnes and Noble took pity on me when I finally got there in what was by then early evening - they hadn't unpacked the copies and put them on the shelves yet, but she went to the back and got it for me anyway. And now it's too long until September . . . .

(I am pleased with myself that my surmise regarding Toby's heritage turned out to be correct. I'm not sure if I paid more attention to certain statements in the previous books than Toby did because she was understandably distracted or because she's good at ignoring things she doesn't want to deal with.)

A little bit from column "A", a little bit from column "B", and a whole lot from column "we tend to believe the lies our parents tell us, if they tell them early enough."
