Today marks the official release date for Codex Born and the mass market paperback of Libriomancer!
Codex is my ninth fantasy novel with DAW, so being an experienced, even jaded author, I am naturally not going to be spending the entire day freaking out and checking Amazon rankings and bouncing uncontrollably and flailing about like a muppet in a paint-mixing machine. (And if you believe that…)
My thanks to everyone who read and reviewed the first book, who pre-ordered this one, who offered support and encouragement, spread the word about the books, and just generally made my world a better place.
I’ve got two events scheduled for this week if you’re interested.
- Tonight (August 6), I’m at Schuler Books in Eastwood from 7 - 8:30.
- Saturday (August 10), I’ll be at Kazoo Books (Parkview Location) in Kalamazoo starting at 2 p.m.
BLURB OF AWESOMENESS: You know, a number of people have gotten blurbs from bestselling author and former SFWA president John Scalzi. But how many authors can boast something like THIS?
“This is the perfect follow up to Libriomancer. It has more magic, more action and more backstory. And I love love love the Lena diaries!!!”
-Kristine Scalzi
VIDEO JIM: When I was in New York earlier this year, we filmed a promotional video at the Penguin/DAW offices. They’ve posted the first video over on the
DAW Books Facebook page, along with a note that if it gets 100 likes, they’ll move on to videos 2 and 3, which get a bit … sillier.
LINKS TO STUFF:
- The Big Idea - A guest post at John Scalzi’s place, talking about the character of Lena Greenwood.
