Another New Book

Feb 24, 2010 09:30

Today was my day to blog at SFNovelists. I’m pleased with today’s entry, a helpful 1 glossary of publishing terms. Here’s an example:

Page Proofs - 1. Your chance as an author to review the typeset pages of your book and correct any typos. 2. Your chance as an author to discover all of those larger changes you’ll wish you’d made before, but now ( Read more... )

Got my copy last Friday - and told Anton! Same day, found a copy of A Local Habitation which I have already read and told seanan_mcguire that I loved it. Should finish Jade Man's Skin today (which is what I went into the bookstore to buy), then will start on Dead Matter.

Crap, did I somehow miss Seanan's book too? ::Checking Amazon:: Oh, good. Not officially out until March 2.

Too many friends writing too many cool books!

What's Jade Man's Skin? I haven't heard of that one before.

Boy, you're right about the too many too cool books, Jim. I thought I'd gotten my TBR queue back to within sight of ten, and now it's over twenty again. How'd that happen?

It's all of those darn writers! Someone really needs to Do Something about those jerks.

And here I always thought Anton was a nice guy . . .

He still hasn't forgiven me for publishing a werejaguar story before he did.

Damn you, Hines! Now I'm going to send out my fan fic goblin pr0n!

jimhines February 25 2010, 17:54:18 UTC

Just for that, I think I'll have to expand the werejaguar story into a novel!

I guess we'll have to add that conversation to the aura of mystery and mayhem that surrounds Anton.

I must admit that I could swear that I saw Dead Matter at a B&N a couple of weeks ago...

You probably did. Unless you're a potential NYT Bestseller, your books usually start to show up on bookstore shelves a week or two before the official release date.

Dunno about a couple of weeks ago, but I found my copy last Friday. :)

You mess with the Penguin family, you're likely to get pulped, if you know what I'm saying.

You know this was all completely tongue-in-cheek, right? ;-)

The first comment over at the SF Novelists posts was dead serious, which has me worrying I've been committing humorfail or something.
