Last week I spoke to my editor at Vagabondage Press and she delivered some fabulous news: Beware the Hawk is coming to print on March 20!
This won’t come as a surprise to the people who follow my Facebook author page; they hear just about all my news just about as soon as it happens, thanks to my raging social media addiction and my possession of a smartphone. (Just another reason to “like” my author page, or stay the hell away from it.)
I’m pretty excited. Beware the Hawk was planned as an e-book and an e-book only, so it’s exciting that a print edition is being released. Since it’s a novelette, it will be a pretty slim volume, but it will be fabulous to have it, to be able to do real book signings as well as virtual signings, to carry a bunch of books around in the trunk of my car so that I can peddle them.
Even better, it will be nice to have a copy of my book accessible to the folks who can’t read it on an e-reader, or who prefer not to. There are, actually, quite a few people who have approached me and said some variation of “I’d like to buy your book, but I don’t have an e-reader.” Well folks, save the date. On March 20, physical copies of Beware the Hawk will become available.
Another announcement: I will be doing my first actual event in my hometown, Watertown, Connecticut, at the Watertown Library. The date has changed from my original announcement. I will provide more information soon.
Congratulations on the print copy and all the other good things that are happening around Beware the Hawk! Look forward to reading it soon.
Thank you, Donna!
I’m so excited about this! I can’t wait to buy the physical book! YAHOO
I am too! I can’t wait to look at the spine of my own book! Is that weird?
That’s wonderful !! I’ll hope to be able to read your book sometime soon.
I’m very proud of you!
Your cousin, Maureen Metzger in Tucson.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for visiting my blog, Maureen. I can’t wait to tell my mother that you commented.
That’s amazing!!! Congrats!
That’s great news! Glad to hear it.
Sorry for my intense radio silence but I just wanted to say I am really excited to be able to buy your book (no e-reader here either) AND Watertown Library – rock on!! I am sad I can’t be there for the momentous occasion, but rest assured I’ll be there in spirit. CONGRATS.
Thanks Heather! I was thinking of you when I was on the phone with the lady from Friends of the Library. Maybe they’ll let me climb the mysterious staircase.
