The tide's coming in tomorrow. A few bits and pieces.

Tomorrow is the release of One Salt Sea. Tomorrow. It's being spotted in the wild; I couldn't take this book back if I wanted to. And to be quite honest, I don't want to. I'm excited as all hell to know that you're about to have the chance to read it. I hope you will. And because I am a blonde who is disturbingly fond of feeding her cats, I hope you'll buy it, too, and enjoy it as much as I enjoy knowing that it's out there.

I am currently working on Ashes of Honor, and am literally making this post to free up some tabs. So here, have some links:

Book Banter is doing a giveaway, in which you can win a copy of One Salt Sea. I love the gang at Book Banter. They are awesomesauce. So enter, and win!

Sara Anne, who I found through Twitter, has an excellent post on why official publication dates matter, and hence why authors get a little sniffly when people talk about finding their books early. I would really, truly love to make the NYT again with this book. I would love to make the print list even more, since that would mean I'd have something to frame. If I make the print list, I will do a giveaway the likes of which has never before been seen. Just saying.

And look! One Salt Sea is a Night Owl Reviews Top Pick! Hooray! I'm totally thrilled, because this is totally awesome. Hooray for good reviews!

See you tomorrow!

New comment

on the subject of cats, i saw the two links in here: http://tisiphone.livejournal.com/2017871.html and thought you'd get a good giggle out of both :)

edit: ah, i didnt realise the second link was you (and that they're both from 2004) -sorry!

I'm getting the impression, poking about, that we're not supposed to know that. It seems more . . . personal over there.

I think it was a filk/slush/general journal until she became Published Author Extraordinaire! This journal was created in 2008, that one is far, far older.

It's my personal general, not "slush."

I do prefer that it not be connected in any way to my professional profile.

No insult intended, if any was taken. I do apologize.

September 6 2011, 14:58:53 UTC 5 years ago

S'okay. Just...my having a journal for me isn't slush.

-firmnod- I use the term more as 'the stuff the rest of us have no need butting into just because we're fans', rather than in a derogatory or demeaning fashion. Everyone needs a personal journal that serves as their dumping ground for their stuff, and to hell with the general public being able to see it and know who it is.

In happier news... HAPPY BOOK DAY!

apologies, and duly noted.

*embarassed*

Yeah, I keep that intentionally very, very quiet. I don't want people there.

September 6 2011, 15:00:25 UTC 5 years ago

Understood.
