Tomorrow is the release of <i>One Salt Sea</i>. 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.<br /><br />I am currently working on <i>Ashes of Honor</i>, and am literally making this post to free up some tabs. So here, have some links:<br /><br /><a href="http://bookbanter.wordpress.com/2011/09/02/bookbanter-boon-12-one-salt-sea-deadline/">Book Banter is doing a giveaway, in which you can win a copy of <i>One Salt Sea</i>.</a> I love the gang at Book Banter. They are awesomesauce. So enter, and win!<br /><br />Sara Anne, who I found through Twitter, <a href="http://thewriterblocked.wordpress.com/2011/06/28/a-note-on-publication-dates/">has an excellent post on why official publication dates matter</a>, 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.<br /><br />And look! <i>One Salt Sea</i> <a href="http://www.nightowlscifi.com/nor/Reviews/Missyb0103-reviews-One-Salt-Sea-by-Seanan-Mcguire.aspx">is a Night Owl Reviews Top Pick</a>! Hooray! I'm totally thrilled, because this is totally awesome. Hooray for good reviews!<br /><br />See you tomorrow!
