Only 24 hours

Less than 24 hours to go until new book day. Colour me nervous. I really hope you're going to like it.
Meanwhile, I have three of my silly promotional pens to give away. Leave me a comment and I'll pick out winners from a hat tomorrow.

Skirt of the day: patchwork silk wrap.


EDIT: and it's Tuesday. [livejournal.com profile] queenoftheskies, [livejournal.com profile] princejvstin and [livejournal.com profile] steepholm, you have each won a pen.

Woo hoo!!! BTW, will I be able to buy (or trade) signed copies of both books at Milford next month?

It will depend on car space, alas, but I will try.

I hope it goes well for you. You deserve to be having a most splendid time! Do plan a wee meal out or something?

(I hve no need of pens, I just want you to have a smashing day!)

Thank you.
I get to stay home and watch the Olympics: Tuesday night is the beloved's RPG night. This is fine: we'll celebrate on Wednesday.

i dont need a pen, thank you, but i wanted to say that i recently read Living With Ghosts and found it a thoughtful, deliberate, intricate book.

i am sure that Grass King Concubine will be as good or better, and that we will in fact like/love it :)

Thank you! That's really kind.

It will go swimmingly! I'm very much looking forward to it:)

[identity profile] queenoftheskies.livejournal.com 2012-08-06 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
How exciting! I can't wait to read it!

Fascinating: The B&N website and my Nook would like me to pre-order for tomorrow, but the Nook app on my phone would like to sell me a copy now...

[identity profile] steepholm.livejournal.com 2012-08-06 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Good luck with the book! I hope it brings you joy.

And your name came out of the hat: pen time!

[identity profile] steepholm.livejournal.com 2012-08-07 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! Shall I pm you my address?

[identity profile] athenais.livejournal.com 2012-08-06 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
So excited! Pre-ordered, I can't wait to read it!

I pre-ordered your book some time ago and was excited today to get an email saying the publication date had changed and I should get it earlier.

[identity profile] dorispossum.livejournal.com 2012-08-06 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Congratulations and good luck! Also got email from Amazon to say 'Grass King's Concubine' could be with me as soon as next Tuesday(which is extra-fab as I should be at home to collect rather than chasing it round the sorting offices...) Definitely one I'm looking forward to. :)

Good luck!

Good luck! I should read something you've written, right? This seems like the perfect opportunity.

I loved 'Living with Ghosts', I heard you read from
'Concubine' in Stockholm, I'm sure it's going to be fabulous.
Hugs, M.

Of course it will go wonderfully!

The hat answers all: you have won a pen!

[identity profile] princejvstin.livejournal.com 2012-08-07 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yay! Where should I send you my address?

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/ 2012-08-07 10:43 am (UTC)(link)
I'll ping you my email address

HURRAH FOR BOOK DAY!

We should get together and raise a glass of fizz in Concubine's honour ...

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/ 2012-08-07 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
We should, definitely.
