The Invisible Orientation

[swankivy]

Hi all! Some of you may remember that I announced a book deal last year. Well, things are moving along pretty well and I thought I'd stop by and update y'all on the status.

The book's title has been changed to THE INVISIBLE ORIENTATION: An Introduction to AsexualityIt will come out September 2, 2014 from Skyhorse Publishing/Carrel Books

I had actually zip to do with the cover. I didn't know anyone was even working on it until I saw it on the Internet and I was not consulted. Yay publishing

Some people might be a little put off by any triangle imagery since some people feel it's appropriative, but yeah, I don't think they were going for symbolic. That said, I think at least some of the people at my publisher have some clue what's going on; shortly after making an offer, the editor said it would be great if we could release it in September so it would be available for Asexual Awareness Week, and I hadn't said anything about AAW in my materials, so she was paying attention. :)

I kinda doubt I'll have a party. I dunno what I'll be doing in all honesty. My publisher isn't a huge publisher and isn't likely to organize any actual events for me (though I will have a publicist trying to get the book some press), but if they give me a push in that direction it's possible something will happen. If left in my hands entirely I wouldn't have a release party.
