Holy Crap Tomorrow! Here's A Bunch Of Links!

Guys, the fact that my countdown widget says ZERO DAYS and some odd hours is freaking the crap out of me. Like, TOMORROW. It's coming. And my book will be out and there will be panicked yet excited flailing. Also, if you're coming to The King's English Launch party, let them know so there will be enough chairs. And if you can't make it, you can pre-order TRANSPARENT from them and I will sign and personalize it for you! It's like you came, but you didn't have to stand in line or hear me ramble.

I will have a super long post (plus a special drawing!) up tomorrow, but today I wanted to share a few links to fun things about TRANSPARENT and me that are already up. And there will be many more on debut day, of course. You are going to get a serious dose of me this week, sorry. Just know I don't expect you to read everything. Or anything!

First, one of the biggest newspapers in Utah featured a review of TRANSPARENT! In the actual paper, as you can see in the picture here, there is a rather gigantic picture of me that makes me laugh. Major thanks to local blogger/reviewer Emily Ellsworth for surprising me with the feature.

Second, there's a pretty great interview (if I do say so myself) with me about TRANSPARENT on Literary Rambles today! They asked me some fabulous questions about the research behind my novel, transitioning between agents, and more. PLUS you can follow/comment for a chance to win an electronic copy of my book.

And last but not least, Author's Think Tank invited me to join them for my very first podcast ever! It was so fun to talk with them about my "Long Road To Publication," and if you get a chance to listen you might learned some details I've never mentioned on the blog before.

That's it for today. I'm off to practice the drawings I'll be doing at my launch party. Because I'm crazy like that.

  2. Super excited for you. The Lit. Rambles interview was excellent. Natalie does such a good job with them. Enjoy your launch! I wish I could be there, but at least I got to meet you at LDStorymakers (I'm the one that took your British version) Thank you, so much. It was such a treat that you (and Jenn) talked to me and were so kind. It gave me the courage to meet and talk to other writers during the conference.
