IMPORTANT: re signed books
The easiest way to get a signed copy of one of my (in print) books is to order it through my local independent bookseller.
Village Books does have a website for ordering, but do not use it. The online automated shopping option will bypass the mortar and brick store, and I won't be able to sign it. You need to send an email to VB's orders department saying what you want and including your telephone number. They will call you to get your credit card information and exact instructions on how you want the book(s) signed and/or dedicated. Then I'll go into the shop and take care of that.
To be clear: If you use the automated on-line shopping option, the book will be mailed to you from a warehouse someplace, and it won't be signed by me. Or anybody, for that matter.
Got it? Don't use the automated system. Email instead.
Here are a couple things I noticed in the book review...
they said that Luke is Jennet's husband. They aren't married yet, are they? And I don't know if this matters, but they used the name Nathan instead of Nathaniel. And it is the early 19th Century, not the 18th.
Congrats Rosina! Looking forward to it's release.
Your editor will love it. I know it.
Huge congratulations to you! Must be such a GREAT feeling to finally say "Done"!!
Wohoo!! Congrats Rosina, happy dance time, rest, relax and take a deep breath and enjoy a bit of relaxation and family time.
I'm fairly certain you will not be able to relax on the eve of the publication of QOS. I ordered my today and I can hardly relax. Congrats on finishing the book, now I have to wait some more, book waiting makes me anxious.
Congrats on finishing the book and you know you'll get all the feedback you want...we aren't shy of sharing.
A suggestion: bookplates. Signed bookplates are lovely and they're much easier to send out than books. I'm looking forward to getting my book today.
Congratulations! What an accomplishment. And to finish it just before the release of QOS is great. Hopefully you can enjoy some of the hoopla around it now. I remember you once saying that it is a very nerve-racking time, but maybe you'll be able to enjoy some aspects.
Thank you for pointing out Village Books and how to get signed copies. I've got mine ordered! I'm pretty thrilled about it.
