Where to get signed copies!
For those of you kind and intrepid and incredible folk who have been interested in signed copies of Sword of Fire and Sea, here are some answers!
First, you can come to the next signing, which will be July 23, 2011 at Borderlands Books in San Francisco. If you can't make it there, I'll be at Westercon July 2-4, Dragon*Con September 2-5, and World Fantasy Con October 27-30. I may be adding a couple of more trips; when I have them finalized I'll be updating this page with them.
Secondly, you can order signed copies anytime from Mysterious Galaxy! Mysterious Galaxy is a fantastic independent science fiction, fantasy, mystery, and horror bookstore in San Diego (my hometown!). They've been around since 1993 and have been keeping genre alive and building one of the best genre fiction communities in the country.
I have many memories of peeking into Mysterious Galaxy's windows (there's a Japanese restaurant in the same center that my family has been going to for years), so it was particularly awesome to "launch" Sword of Fire and Sea there officially. And despite it being my first signing, I don't know how you could ask for better support: they advertised the heck out of the event, and Maryelizabeth provided terrific advice over facebook before I came down. Patrick and David were wonderful throughout, making sure everything ran smoothly and providing a convention's worth of stimulating science fiction and fantasy conversation in just a couple of hours.
So there are your answers! Go forth and buy books from a terrific San Diego institution! There are more photos from the signing on the Andovar facebook page (but you're already a member there, right?), and on Flickr.
