30 Days and Counting

At midnight tonight it will be exactly thirty days until The Raven's Revenge is released in paperback. Wow. I can hardly believe it.

The digital release was exciting, but you can't hold an ebook in your hands unless you have something like a Kindle (which I don't), and even then it's not quite the same as being able to ruffle the pages, smell the paper, and lick the cover. (No I never have, but I do have an author friend who does.)

I know my publisher expects that the bulk of their sales will be from digital format, but I'm wondering if the American Title contest exposure will help boost the paperback sales.

We shall see.

Cover-licking. Now there's something I haven't tried...

When/where can we pre-order the print edition?

Therese--as far as I can tell, the book becomes available to order the day it's published. I haven't seen any Wild Rose Press books available for pre-order anywhere. It will be sold through Amazon and maybe Barnes and Noble (and it can be ordered through your local bookstore since it's distributed through Ingrams). I will post links (all over the internet) when it's available.

I'm counting, too, as I held out for a paper copy. lol I come over here periodically, Gina, just to watch the numbers go down. Let us know when it's available for order. Much cheer.
