Weekend Plans?
Feb. 6th, 2012 10:10 amIf you don't have any, I am going to be at Uncle Hugo's from 1:00 - 2:00 pm signing Tate Hallaway's latest release, ALMOST EVERYTHING, which is the last in the Vampire Princess of St. Paul series. I kind of forgot about this... or, rather, February snuck up on me (due, no doubt, in part to my current fannish fever,) so I have a very bad feeling there will be many crickets.
However, if you decide you want to go, and need more informaiton check out: http://www.unclehugo.com/prod/index.shtml
This also means that the book's official release day is *tomorrow.*
So, uh, go buy one. Please?
I have another deep sense of forboding around this book as well, I have to admit. I mean, it would be REALLY AWESOME if it did well... but my publisher seems to have given up on it a bit. There were no galleys made, so, for instance, my main source of "getting the word out," ie Romantic Times didn't even review it. I don't know how anyone that wants it is going to find it... outside of Twitter.
Sigh.
However, there will be a radio interview coming up just after Valentine's day, so hopefully I can at least interest the listeners of KFAI! And, I'm dutifully printing out some postcards in the hopes of gathering some friends to Hugo's.
In other good news, I managed to get my class mostly in order. I need to record and upload a quick vlog lecture yet, but then I'm good. I even managed to gather all the links I need for next week as well, so I'm almost kind of ... ahead. We'll see how long that lasts.
Otherwise, the weekend was fairly quiet. Mason had his swimming lesson on Saturday. We took part in the American ritual of the Superbowl by being invited to a friend's for the big game/commerical watching. I have to say, this year the commericals didn't really make me happy... outside of Volkwagen, of course. Star Wars references work for me, believe it or not. I know, a surprise, right? Mason really enjoyed the half-time show, as, frankly, did I. Madonna is totally past her sell-by date, but it's sort of like finding an M&M in the couch cushions... you still kind of want to eat it.
