Thursday, March 05, 2009Launch day!
Just a reminder: I'll be signing books at 2pm in Goldboro Books in central London. I'm only going in to sign a job lot so I'll probably be out by around 2.30, but if anyone wants to pop in and say hi, that's where I'll be...
Right, got a lot to organise, so gotta dash.
Comments:
A job lot is basically a batch ordered in bulk. :-)
Word: phrooste. A subspecies of pheasant found in the remoter regions of Algeria, with particularly bright plumage around the neck.
good job. just heard about bareback last week. and now I'm reading it in swedish paperback. fascinating! glad to hear about the new book. great timing on becoming a fan =)
Just reading In Great Waters. I'm amazed at the 30 page bites I seem to be taking out. I think you ought to take credit for writing in perfect little breaking points that make it the perfect book to enjoy over a long period of time. I certainly keep going back for more. Different from Bareback. Whilst equally engaging, I tore through Bareback within about 12 hours. Waters seems to require more reflecting time, if you'll pardon the expression. Another triumph.
By the way, I read an early review in the Times in the SciFi windup [sorry I know you don't like that], which indicated all positive feedback to come. I'm looking forward to the reviews now almost as much as I was the book. I know I sound a little gushy but I'm simply a very sincere person! How are you, Mika and fiance doing by the way? Time has passed since we heard from either one of them.
I don't want to gush either, but I just finished it. So I know what you mean, Emily: there were times when I had to put the book down because life kept getting in the way, but I'd keep thinking about it. And there were a few places -- Kit, I'm sure you know where they are -- where I had to stop reading and absorb the impact before I could go on.
A book to be savored, like salt on fish. Word: chenni. A casual skirt in printed cotton suitable for wearing on tropical holidays.
And here I was congratulating myself on scheduling me-and-hubby's trip to the U.K. on what turned out to be everybody's spring break over here... If only I'd scheduled it two weeks earlier!

But then vacation would be over by now, and that would be sad. I don't know when the book comes out in the U.S., but seeing how it's out already in the U.K., it oughtn't to be hard to pick up a copy soon enough. We'll be landing at LHR early on Sunday morning the 22nd. I'm not sure how exactly we're getting from there to where we're going, but surely we'd have time before we set out for A) visiting a bookstore and B) meeting a certain author and Slacktivite for breakfast, if her schedule aligned with ours... waddayathink? Word: "ingsheli", a sort of bivalve best served steamed in a sage-and-pepper broth. Also the name of a beach somewhere vaguely mythical. (Word after previewing: "funsei". The sensei at a more entertaining sort of dojo.) << Home ArchivesJuly 2006 August 2006 September 2006 October 2006 November 2006 December 2006 January 2007 March 2007 May 2007 July 2007 October 2007 December 2007 January 2008 February 2008 March 2008 April 2008 May 2008 June 2008 July 2008 August 2008 September 2008 October 2008 November 2008 December 2008 January 2009 February 2009 March 2009 April 2009 May 2009 July 2009 August 2009 September 2009 October 2009 November 2009 December 2009 January 2010 February 2010 March 2010 April 2010 August 2010 September 2010 November 2010 January 2011 May 2011 June 2011 November 2011 December 2011 January 2012 February 2012 March 2012 April 2012 May 2012 June 2012 July 2012 August 2012 September 2012 October 2012 November 2012 December 2012 January 2013 March 2013 April 2013 May 2013 June 2013 July 2013 August 2013 September 2013 October 2013 March 2014 October 2021 June 2022 October 2024 |
