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!

My Kindle version just arrived too! But I'm buying a paperback copy tomorrow from my local indie, and then saving it to read on my flight to London end of next week. One of my friends won one of the ARCs, though, and she's really, really tempting me to read it before I fly....we'll see whether I hold out.

Well, it's win-win either way, because I always reread the new Toby book at least once shortly after the first time -- but I'm pretty determined to hang out, because there's nothing so decadent as being able to sit down on a plane to see my sweetie and have New!Toby!Adventures! to keep me from counting the minutes till I get to London.

Thanks for the encouragement!
