Blog Entry: Because I am a big geek
When my editor sent me a proof jacket for A Most Improper Magick - that's a full test version of the paper outer cover that will wrap around the book itself - first I screamed out loud, and then...why, yes, then the cameras came out! I couldn't resist.
But I owe Carrie Jones a big apology. I needed to find a hardcover book to test the cover, and it had to be 304 pages, the same page count as mine, so that the cover would fit. Need was the first one that fit the bill! So Carrie, I'm really, really sorry to have stolen the inside of your book for that one photo session...
...oh, who am I trying to fool? Of course my copy of Need is still sitting in my bookcase wearing Kat's jacket, because that way, I can pretend my book is shelved there. I hope Zara doesn't mind too much! She can have her own jacket back this spring, I promise. But look! It looks SO REAL!
Okay. No more photo madness until the real book arrives. Really! Well, probably...unless I totally lose control...
But anyway! In other good news, Patrick, Mr Darcy, and I all just registered for WisCon 2010. YAYYY!!! WisCon is my Favorite Con in the World, and it's been way too long since we've been back there. Now I'm going to go back to stroking the spine of (almost) my book...don't mind me, really... ;)
