Home, gearing up for book tour, exhausted.

I will post happy cheery reminders about today being the release of Parasite very soon, but I just woke up after staggering home way too late last night (delayed flights in Orange County, whee), and wanted to drop a few admin notes before I forgot:

1. If you want to send me a private message, please, please use my website contact form rather than using LJ or Facebook messenger services. I have trouble replying within those forms, which often translates to "I won't reply within those forms." (I don't have a no-reply policy for LJ, but I do for Facebook.) My website contact form goes to my PA, who answers really simple questions like "where can I buy this?" and forwards everything else along to me. I answer as quickly as I can.

2. This LJ has an open friend/unfriend policy. Yes, it makes me sad when people I know IRL unfriend me, because I am a human being living in a human world, but I won't hunt you down with torches and pitchforks to demand to know why. At the same time, if you remove me from your friend list, I will remove you. Please don't unfriend me and then get mad when I do the same to you.

3. And while I'm asking for unreasonable things, please wait until I get the official Parasite discussion post up to start commenting about the book. I want to keep the various threads safe for the spoiler-averse for as long as possible.

And now I nap.

So, maybe I missed something, but... Parasite will be available through Amazon, yes? Because while it amused me that this is what came up:

http://www.amazon.com/Parasites-Pathogens-Progress-Diseases-Development/dp/0262015668/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?s=books

...er, no. And even a broader search did not uncover it.

(This is kind of theoretical on my part - when I buy DRM'd ebooks, I actually get them through B&N, because if I'm supporting a model I'm dubious about* I at least would prefer to support the non market leader. And I have. But I use Amazon to keep track of things like release dates, and to buy a ridiculous amount of non-book things.)

* but a lifestyle I love, oh, I'm so conflicted.
http://www.amazon.com/Parasite-ebook/dp/B00BU1DEVU maybe?

Amazon's search thing can be weird.

(I got my e-copy from Kobo; alas physical space to store books in is not cheap)
Oh, yeah, the other name, I *know* that. (I mean, I just bought my copy.) *headdesk*
