ROSEMARY AND RUE, coming soon to a bookstore near you...

I am pleased* to announce that the release date for Rosemary and Rue, the first of the October Daye books, has been officially confirmed and announced as September 2009. Yes. Nine months from now. On store shelves. Actual store shelves, not just shelves on the bookstore inside my head (they have very affectionate store cats).

Watch this space for news, updates, contests, giveaways, and hyperventilation. But for right now, I resort to the obvious:

HOLY SHIT OH MY GOD SEPTEMBER 2009 THAT'S LIKE PRACTICALLY TOMORROW THAT MEANS I'LL HAVE BOOKS AT OVFF AND WORLD FANTASY AND OH MY GOD AND I CAN'T BREATHE AND MADE OF WIN AND DINO DANCE PARTY TIME FOR EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahem. That is all.

(*By 'pleased,' we mean 'incandescent with glee and hasn't stopped squealing for the past hour.' It's a specialized definition.)

I'm really, really happy.

Sweet!

So let's see, since most of the books tend to come out the first week, that looks like 9/1, which means ... 228 days and counting?

Though if they'd pushed you back just one month, we could have been book release buddies :-)

How soon can I add it to my Amazon Wishlist?

seanan_mcguire

January 16 2009, 20:33:30 UTC 8 years ago

I think it's going to be a few months -- probably not until they've finalized the cover design, at the very minimum. I'd say June-ish?

Congratulations! Any chances of getting an advance copy? ;) What is your book about? I friended you recently, so if you've already said I missed it.

seanan_mcguire

January 16 2009, 20:44:43 UTC 8 years ago

Well, that depends -- are you a reviewer? If not, it's hard to say. I'll probably have some giveaways and contests as we get close to the release date, but any advance copies I get will need to go to review sites first.

Rosemary and Rue is the first of the October Daye books, a fairy tale noir urban fantasy adventure set in modern-day San Francisco. October 'Toby' Daye is our cranky changeling protagonist, who really just wants a cup of coffee and a nap.

Not practically tomorrow enough here. *grumps* LA Times Book Fair is before that...maybe next year?

Not patient here. Nope. Not one bit. Unapologetic about it too. *winks*

seanan_mcguire

January 16 2009, 20:46:27 UTC 8 years ago

I'm not patient either, so hey, it's all good.
