Five years, and another milestone drops on my toe....

[lagilman]

Damn. I missed my anniversary. Five years a freelancer, this week. Yay?

Lots of changes since then. Some good, some sad, all of them a part in landing me here, where I am content. There are far worse fates.

And yet, no matter how many times it's happened since then, I'm never ready...

You can pre-order BLOOD FROM STONE now.

eeeek.

At Amazon, anyway. B&N and Borders some day as well, I suppose, but they're not admitting to it yet.

Or, you can pre-order it from a local independent store..

Why should you pre-order? Because that tells the stores they will have money coming in, so they will order the copies, so the publisher will print the copies, so everyone gets their copies and the wheels of publishing keep turning.... and you still don't have to pay until the book actually comes in!

As always, send me an e-mail [LAG(at)lauraannegilman(dot)net] telling me you pre-ordered it, and I will send you a signed bookplate.

Congratulations!

Although my first thought was "No, it can't possibly be 5 years. Can it? Can it really?"

[lagilman]

It can. Although I had to double-check and ask someone for confirmation. Because it's either been no time at all, or forever....

Curses

I live in Canada so it is not available for pre-order yet, you wouldn't happen to know when it will be released here, would you.

Waiting with bated breath

Re: Curses

[lagilman]

the Canadian release should be the same.... (but I emphasize 'should' as I never quite know what's going on with publishing Up There...)
