Tomorrow's the Big Day

Well, tomorrow's the day we've all been waiting for -- Armed & Magical hits the bookstores! You all are in for an incredibly fun read. ; )

I have a big favor to ask -- For those of you who will be going tomorrow or in the next week or two to buy your copy of A&M, could you buy your copy at Barnes & Noble? If Armed & Magical makes one of their bestseller lists, it could earn me the right to put "National Bestselling Author" above my name on my book covers. I want that REALLY bad. It's one of my big "publishing dreams," and I would greatly appreciate you all helping me to make that dream a reality. : )

Update on The Trouble With Demons: I finished Chapter 30 yesterday. Mega yea! But rather than going directly into the final chapter, I'm going to start at Chapter 1 and read through the entire book, making any final tweaks, but most importantly taking notes of events and plot threads that need to be resolved in the final chapter -- and which plot threads need to be left hanging just a little. That way, I can get Chapter 31 right the first time.

I can't wait for my Book Release Party tomorrow night at the Barnes & Noble at The Streets at Southpoint in Durham, NC. The fun starts at 7:00 p.m., and if you can make it, come and join me for cake. ; ) And for those of you who are too far away, there will be lots of photos, so you can live the party vicariously. ; )

It's Monday, but tomorrow is A&M release day -- so that makes it fabu!

Are you going absolutely giddy with excitement? I know I would be!! I can't wait to buy A&M tomorrow, and since B&N is the closest bookstore to me, that works out perfectly! :)

Yep, Kate I am. Though I've got work on TTWD to get done tonight, and I just picked a passage from A&M to read -- and it's chock full of dialogue. Yikes! Well, I'll do the best I can. Robin Williams, I ain't. ; )

Kimber An, I'll probably sleep, but I'll wake up at 4:00 AM and won't be able to go back to sleep. ;)

Cograts on your release day (tomorrow)!! :) Sorry there are no Barnes & Noble's in Canada, or I would go to one. I'll be picking mine up at Chapters.

What a bummer, Kara. Well, June is only another month away. And think of it this way -- you'll have one less month after reading A&M to wait for TTWD. ; )
