24 days to go!  Hope you all are enjoying your ebook of Rise.  I’m told next week the physical copies arrive at Inkshares HQ and then they will begin shipping them out to you.  So exciting!

To have some fun with all of you reading Rise, I’m going to ask for pictures!  Usually authors ask for pictures of their book in the wild (which I will not turn down if you see it).  I also am interested in you the reader, though.  So, here’s the idea.  Send me a picture of you reading the book, either physical or on an e-reader device, in an unusual circumstance or place.  I’m going to save all of these and then pick one person to win an as yet undetermined prize.  I’m thinking maybe an early draft of Fall to read.  We’ll see.

As for the book release party at Dragoncon, it’s going to be Thursday night 1 Sept, location TBD, before Con begins so you don’t have to buy a badge to get in if we have it at one of the hotels (a possibility still in the works).  This is just a hangout kind of thing where you can come say hi if you’re able to come that evening, get your copy autographed, and just chit chat about the book or whatever you want to talk about.  I may have some hints to share about the sequel, Fall.
