Calabi Yau!*
It’s finally here. GOING BOVINE is on sale now at your local bookstore. I know I’m supposed to be jaded and cynical about this process by now, but you know what? I get as excited as a six-year-old with a birthday at Chuck E. Cheese every single friggin’ time.
I want to thank everybody who comes by here and says hi and leaves me great music suggestions and funny videos. I want to thank you for reading my books and for telling me what you like and don’t like about them. (I especially like the what-I-like-about-your-books part, but it’s all good.) I want to thank you for including me in your lives, trusting me with stories about yourselves and for sharing your opinions about various topics posted here. You complete me. You had me at "Why the hell did you turn {name removed} into a tree?" Seriously, I am just damn lucky to know you all. Some of you in a virtual sense but whatever. From the heart, I thank you.
I hope you enjoy GOING BOVINE even though it’s very different from The Gemma Doyle trilogy and there are no corsets. There is, however, a bad-ass yard gnome, and I like to think that counts for something.
One quick schedule change: THE EVENT TONIGHT AT THE LINCOLN CENTER BARNES & NOBLE IS AT 5:00 PM, not 5:30.
I got confused. I do that sometimes. Here’s the info:
LIBBA BRAY & FRANK PORTMAN.
GOING BOVINE & ANDROMEDA KLEIN
LINCOLN CENTER BARNES & NOBLE
1972 Broadway, between 66th & 67th Streets
New York, New York, baby!
5:00 PM! 5:00 PM! 5:00 PM!
In honor of Going Bovine’s birthday, the lovely and talented Miss Cynthia Leitich Smith, she who forced me to write this book, has an interview up. If you are a lover of paranormal YA, you gotta read Cyn’s TANTALIZE and ETERNAL. www.cynthialeitichsmith.com/CLS/cyn_books/cyn_books.html They’ll rock your socks, peeps.
Anyway, here’s the interview, if you are so inclined: cynleitichsmith.livejournal.com/192124.html
Hope I’ll see some of you tonight! It’s gonna be wild.
* Really, that will all make sense once you read the book.
