Happy not-quite-release day!

[stillsostrange]

Good morning, internets!

I feel I must clarify a point amidst all the release-day festivities. Today is The Drowning City's release on Amazon, but as My Fabulous Editor reminded me, the official in-store release day is September 1st. So, yanno, give your local bookstore another week before you loot and pillage if they don't have a copy. However, I've heard reports now of three sightings in the wild. So instead of a release day party, we can have a release week party!

And I'm on a role with weird writer dreams lately. Last night I dreamed that Neil Gaiman had to fight the forces of evil at every WorldCon, and this year the con was thrown into disarray when evil fought dirty and kidnapped one of his daughters. (And no, the forces of evil were not played by crazed fangirls.) I encourage someone else to have the sequel dream "Amanda Palmer Strikes Back".

Oh the other hand, I saw a copy in the giant Barnes and Noble on E86th St in NYC on Saturday, I'm pretty sure.

well, congratulations on your not-quite-release day! very, very exciting :) do you know if it is being released in the UK too?

[stillsostrange.livejournal.com]

It is, and the UK cover is even snazzier than the US version. (Same picture, fancier production.)

This is so exciting. Please to accept virtual champagne.

I guess since most people (including many people who are actually in publishing) can only find out about exact release dates from Amazon or BN.com, and both sources started selling tDC today, the "real" release date doesn't mean much.

But a week of celebration sounds like a good idea to me.

Hooray! :D

It's been in our Barnes and Noble for nearly a week, so we'll make it a two week celebration.
