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.)
Which would be awesome, just for the symbolism of it all, but no, we're starting out with mass-market paperback editions (not even trades!), which is truly fantastic from a 'I want people to pick these up on a whim, fall in love, and read me forever' standpoint.
That is ABSOLUTELY the spirit which I wish to encourage in ALL PEOPLES with these books. (Seriously, I hope you love and adore them. I know not everyone will -- unless you're a hundred dollar bill, not everybody's gonna love you, and even then, somebody's gonna want a thousand -- but I want them to make the people I know, even tangentially, happy.)
ecstatic
