The print is here! The print is here! + a contest

I just got something very exciting from UPS...the print editions of HEAD RUSH, the third book in the Disillusionists trilogy.

I think they are beautiful. I'm not just saying that. The cover is amazing and so is the font, and just everything. This is my first trade paperback, and it's of such high quality. So nice. I'm so happy and excited! My publisher, Samhain, did just an exquisite job. (Thanks, Samhain!)

Also, I feel like I've been cringingly holding my breath on behalf of my print readers who have been waiting SO very patiently for the third installment of this trilogy to arrive.

Can you hold breath cringingly? It involves making a face of empathetic pain as you do it.

Anyway, the print edition is released on September 4th, and you can order it in all the usual places online, as well as your local bookstore. I'm working on collecting links on the HEAD RUSH page of my site.

But in the meantime, I have two to give away to long-suffering readers!

Are you a print reader, waiting for Head Rush? Tapping your readerly foot, eyeing me, wishing you could know the outcome NOW? I'm picking two random commenters, chosen by random.org this weekend.

Rules:

  • If you are reading this on Facebook or Goodreads, please come to my blog to comment and enter. 
  • Leave a comment with your email, unless your email addy is findable by clicking your name. 
  • US or Canada only, please. (Sorry international, these books are a bit heavy!)  
Best of luck, friends!

[ed to add: contest closed! Congrats WINNERS: Melissa (my world) & Carolyn R.! I just emailed you both!]

Yeah yeah!!! That is one of the most lovely book boxes I've ever seen. :D I know I listened to the audiobook, but I just simply HAVE TO HAVE a print copy to go with my collection to show off to others. Can't wait to order it up.

Congrats on the new shipment. :) Thank you!

Woot! Print! So excited. The only thing that could make this news better would be an epilogue short story! Skipping ahead like five years to see how everyone's settled into their HEA. ^^
