It's Release Day!

How about that monstrous beauty?
Today is the official release day of Monstrous Beauty, which means you can go to your local bookstore and buy the darn thing AND THEN I WILL SHUT UP.

Lots of things are happening!

1. This morning I was on the radio in Plymouth, MA with WATD morning hosts Rob Hakala and Lisa Azizian. I only said one embarrassing thing, which is a PERSONAL RECORD.

2. My blog tour has started! The first stop is with Wendy Darling and K at the magnificent blog, The Midnight Garden. I wrote a guest post about the settings in the book, with photos from my research trip to Plymouth, MA.

3. Tonight at 6 PM there's a celebration of Monstrous Beauty's release at the 57th Street Bookstore. Stop by if you're a local and give me a hug because IT'S MY BOOK BIRTHDAY.

4. On Friday the 7th I'll be at Plimoth Plantation for the best book launch ever, including mermaid martinis!

5. On Thursday the 13th I'll be at The King's English Bookshop in Salt Lake City for a book signing.

6. I'll be on Macmillan's Fierce Reads tour with three other authors from September 18th through the 23rd.

    1. Carol,
      That's the cake you ate for my anniversary in June! It's so impressive, I couldn't resist using the photo here.

  3. I've had the book on preorder through Amazon.ca, and they listed the wrong publication date (Aug. 24th)-- so, I figured they'd send it to me on the actual publication date. However, they're still listing that the book hasn't been released yet, which is disappointing because I've been looking forward to it since the excerpt went up on Tor.com. I hope this isn't making it difficult for others in Canada to get a copy of your book ;^;

    1. That's frustrating! The incorrect date is probably because the ARC said August 24. I just checked on Amazon.ca, and it says in stock...maybe that's a change of just the last couple of hours? Let's hope so! Thank you for ordering it!

    2. Yes, I just received the email to confirm that it's on its way! I'm excited-- thank you for getting back to me so quickly, and thank you for the fantastic read that I'll be enjoying soon enough! Glad that Amazon figured everything out so those of us in the cold north can indulge.
