Where's my BattleStar? Space, no doubt.

My three day weekend was very nice, and mostly spent with H. He's a good one, that H. We played Wii, watched TV, hosted a guest or two and slept very late. I made a big peanutty stir fry that was just delicious. I am back to work today, just like everyone else I imagine.

Is it true that there was no BattleStar Galactica this week? There is no new episode On Demand.
I hope we haven't missed one as we are ever nearer to the season finale.
Would that also be the series finale? I forget.

We started watching the new Andromeda Strain on A&E last night, with the second half running tonight. It has a pretty good cast but I find it kind of blah. H likes it though, so we'll be sure to catch the end when I get home from work.

Got my finished galley for The Cat's Apprentice. To my horror, [livejournal.com profile] thehula was accidentally omitted from the acknowledgments page. One thousand apologies to her. She is one of my most loyal internet readers who was supposed to get a shout out this time around.

I may have a lead for a book signing. Who'da thunk it'd be so difficult setting up a book signing in a town like Ann Arbor? The B&N's around here say they don't host signings, and Borders thinks my house is too small and they don't like POD presses. Even the comic book shop didn't want to host a signing for me, and it's these signings that get books sold.

I'm using some Avon pear scented body spray today. It's yummy, I think I'm gonna buy some more if they still have it. Mine is left over from several summers ago.

Why won't they do signings? My B&N does them all the time. Come out here! ;)

And thanks for the shout out, even if it's not in a book! You are awesome. When do we get to order the book? Now? How about now? Right now?

Now?

How about now?

The new book is availible for pre-order at B&N and Borders, but it'll be a few weeks before it's up at the publishers website, which is where I make the most money.

I feel really bad about your shout out.
I really meant for it to be there.

When I order it, you can write all about how much you love me even though you're totally famous in the inside cover, and we'll call it even. ;)

Fair enough!

I just saw that your book was out!!!

I purchased it immediately.

No Battlestar this past weekend because it was a holiday weekend. None of the regular shows were on SciFi on Friday

Good to know. I'd hate to think I was missing a week.

If the B&N has a community manager, that's who you need to speak to. I think that's a position they've been cutting out to save on labor costs, though. They set up all the book signings, harry potter parties, etc.

You should try again. Do you have any books a million or waldenbooks out there? any local shops? GOOD LUCK!!!

Thanks! Right now I'm focusing on local shops and on trying to get big reviews. It'll come along, it's just a slow process.

Did you try the Little Professor book shop at Stadium and Jackson? I think it might be called something else now, but I think it is locally owned.
