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.)

YEA! I guess I have to go pre-order that from Amazon (or just wait till Larry Smith has copies in stock for you to sign.)

Excellent news!

Now we need to book you into an author event at Powell's (their Beaverton store gets most of the SF/F authors, and I happen to know their SF/F staffperson....).

I'm so glad I caught you. It was really important to me that you know.

I guess they wanted it out in time for Halloween

From what I have heard from other authors that's a fast turn around.

Apparently your Machete/Chainsaw editing techniques didn't leave much for the professional editors to do.

Congratulations

Actually, I've heard from several people that my manuscripts are surprisingly clean. That's what OCD and a pocket reality show will do for a girl!
