Into a Writer's Head

Launch of a book...

Or how to find your book when no one seems to carry it.

On Monday I drove to Borders and Barnes & Noble to try to find an early copy of B2B...nada. I checked with another independent store who told me they had 2 copies coming, but they weren't in yet. Did I want to order a copy special? Heck no! Do you know how long I'd have to wait if I did that? Nope, that won't work.

Christina and Serena called all over trying to find someone carrying it, and Christina finally managed to find it at a B.Dalton. So off we three trooped to go oooh and aaaaah over the shiny new books. Not to mention C. and I needed to buy ours! While there Serena got to meet the woman in charge of their Teen Fic section, plus sign additional copies of her book for the store. Then it was off for drinks and appetizers at the local burger place. Yum! Frou-frou drinks! And (at least for me) non-alcoholic as I was supposed to come back and do homework for today. Um...yeah, that didn't happen.

Unlike Christina though, I did not start reading the book last night. I'm exercising what little self-restraint I have and saving it for the bus ride, so that everyone around me can see the fun, cool cover and wonder...Who is that mystery author? Of course, this self-restraint might be aided by the fact that I've already read the book. But we won't brag about that part.

Now, YOUR assignment, should you choose to accept it...go buy this book!
