swan_towerHappy Bookday to me, Happy Bookday to me . . . .
Actually, Happy Bookday to all of you, if the release of A Star Shall Fall was something you were looking forward to. As of today, it ought to be on the shelves of discerning bookstores everywhere (in the U.S. and Canada, anyway).
Now seems a dandy time to link once more to my essay on the merits of buying a book from a bookstore, rather than from an online seller. If you have a choice of which way to go, choose the physical store; it will help keep me in business as a writer, just a bit more than an online sale would. (E-books are a whole different game, of course.)
Or, if you'd like to try and get a signed copy direct from me instead, you have two ways to do it (both of 'em with fairly good odds). First, you can participate in the discussion threads on the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
sirenscon community: the fifth and final thread is up today, asking about the city of London, and previous threads are here, here, here, and here. I didn't realize there would be a fifth question today, so I'm extending the deadline on this giveaway a little bit, to the end of the day on Friday; any comment left on one of those threads before then will make you eligible to win a copy of the book.
Second, you can read "And Blow Them at the Moon" (an Onyx Court short story over at Beneath Ceaseless Skies) and join in the discussion for that in their forums. For this giveaway, you have until the next issue goes live at the end of Wednesday next week.
If you're looking for other goodies, like my London photos or the soundtrack for the novel, all of that is on my site.
Aaaaand I think that's it, at least for now. If anybody needs me, I'll be here in the corner, alternately bouncing and chewing my fingernails off . . . .
