A very special announcement:

We saw Sweeney Todd, I daresay it is in many ways a perfect film. It has singing, dancing, killing, and a bunch of truly exceptional performances by some of the best actors Hollywood has to offer. Tim Burton is a genius with an uncanny gift to put us in the mood for whatever he's showing us. This movie is worlds away from the non-musical version with Ben Kingsley, not that I don't love that particular version, but this was nothing like it. Anyway, if you haven't seen it yet, please do so, you will be richly rewarded.
If I was to have one complaint, it would be that the blood was too "painty". I'm sure that's what Tim wanted, but I just thought it was a bit too "DAwn of the Dead" for me.

But that's not really the "special announcement."

My book is now available for pre-order.

Did you get that?

MY BOOK IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER!!!

You can order it from here.

And yes, if you buy one, I'll sign it.
I don't know why that's such a big deal, since you all know me, but people are asking.

Ok, I'm about to order it, but first I have to ask how you'll be able to sign it? Or do I need it to be shipped to you so you can sign it and ship it to me?

I'll also post a review. :)

I haven't talked to my publisher about signed copies yet. But of course if you send me one, I'll sign it and send it back.

OH HOLY FUCK!

The site gives all new customers a $5 gift certificate. However I didn't see the notice in my email box until AFTER I completed my order. That would have given me nearly FREE shipping. ARG! (BANGS HEAD ON DESK REPEATEDLY)

It shall be ordered. Huge congrats!

I reviewed Sweeny Todd on Nightmare SINema, my evil side loved it! Mrs. Loveit really knows how to add some ZING to her meat pies!

Do you want to come on ParaWomen in April to promote the book?

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2008-03-01 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
That's awesome, I can't wait to see it.

Yes, I'd love to.
