The Great Swan Tower Moving Day Sale

[swan_tower]

So, this just happened:

Got the keys Friday, an hour after my return from Europe. Whee! ^_^

And now, of course, we come to the next bit, which is relocating from our current abode to our shiny new one. As many of you know, moving house is a daunting task. I’m sure you’ve all been sitting around thinking, “How can I help Marie out in this most tiring of times?”

I’m so glad you asked!

The answer is the Great Swan Tower Moving Day Sale. I have a pile of author copies of my books; every one you buy is a book I don’t have to move to the new house. (Plus, given the O_O expense of house-buying, every bit of income right now is exceedingly welcome.) All you have to do is email me or leave a message here calling dibs on something and giving me your mailing address; I’ll respond to let you know whether it’s still available, and we’ll arrange payment. Here’s the list of what’s available, kept updated as promptly as I can manage:

• Midnight Never Come, UK trade paperback
• In Ashes Lie, UK trade paperback — 2 copies, $12
• A Natural History of Dragons, US trade paperback — 2 copies (already inscribed to the wrong person), $10
• A Natural History of Dragons, 9-CD audio set
• Un histoire naturelle des dragons, French trade paperback
• The Tropic of Serpents, US trade paperback — 2 copies, $12
• Voyage of the Basilisk, UK trade paperback
• Voyage of the Basilisk, US hardcover — 4 copies, $20
• In the Labyrinth of Drakes, US ARC (no illustrations)
• In the Labyrinth of Drakes, UK trade paperback — 5 copies, $12
• In the Labyrinth of Drakes, US hardcover — 12 copies, $20

All books will be signed to the person of your choice. Prices include domestic shipping; for international shipping, there will be a small addition. And of course purchases of any of my books in any format from other outlets are also good. 🙂

But what about those of you who for one reason or another are not interested in buying a book? I’m so glad you asked!

I also have a handful of photo prints left over from my Borderlands exhibition, which I will have to move if nobody takes them off my hands. The prints available can be seen in this gallery, and are all roughly the size of a sheet of paper, on French cleats for hanging. They are $65 apiece, except for the sunset tree; that one is $75, due to technical considerations that required me to print it on a more expensive backing. As with the books, email or drop me a line if you’re interested in one of those.

. . . and now I go back to packing.

In the Labyrinth of Drakes, UK trade paperback — 9 copies, $12, please? If it has the illustrations. If not, then the US hardcover.

Voyage of the Basilisk, UK trade paperback — 1 copy, $12. Ditto condition. I have an ARC and it's not illustrated.

Signed to me, please!

The ARC is the only un-illustrated version (well, aside from the audio, for obvious reasons). I've added a clarifying note to that effect.

I presume you just want the one copy of Labyrinth? I mean, I can send you all nine, but I figure I should make sure first. :-)

Ha ha. No, just one.

I would love to buy one of the French trade paperbacks from you - Isabella is delightful in French (speaking French automatically increases the wryness of your humor by 32.45%), and it'll be a fun way to keep my French literacy in shape.

Done! We can work out delivery by means other than mail. :-)

Congratulations on the new house; and I am so glad I'm not the only writer lumbered with copies of my own books signed to the wrong person.
