So, some of you may have noticed this already, but I can now officially announce that the publication date for A Most Improper Magick has changed. It's now going to be published on June 15th instead of April 20th. Of course I hate having to wait any longer - I want my author copies in my hands and on my bookshelf, now, now, now! - but I love that my publisher really cares about its success and is determined to bring it out at just the right time. Apparently, June is a really good month for my kind of book, so...despite the fact that it's forcing me to (finally) learn the art of patience, this still counts as genuinely good news.
The only downside is that it does mean our American travel plans are going to have to change. I'd planned to arrive in April and stay through May, and had made some commitments which I'm now going to have to cancel or rearrange. I am so sorry to have made anyone's schedule difficult. And of course I'm sorriest of all that it now looks like we may not be coming to WisCon after all. Wahhh! We haven't finalized the decision yet, so there's still some hope...but it's not looking very practical at the moment.
Of course, if you want to read A Most Improper Magick before June 15th, you still have three more days to enter the ARC giveaway at The Story Siren. If you're in the UK, you can find me at both Eastercon and Bristolcon this year, and if you're in the US, I will be there sometime this year - I just don't know yet exactly when that will be. Hoping to post more announcements soon!
