The “coming out” party begins on this side of the pond.<\/p>\n

As an experienced, mature, professional writer I am of course experienced in such things and completely…unhinged, in just as much of an emotional storm as when Sheepfarmer’s Daughter<\/em> made its way to the shelves back in 1988.\u00a0\u00a0 The excitement of “launch day” hasn’t gotten old yet, and probably never will–and some books have me dancing on the hot needles more than others.<\/p>\n

A few pleas from the author:<\/p>\n

Please do not post any spoilers here.\u00a0 (Those of you already reading the UK edition have been very good about that–thanks!)\u00a0 Not everyone has their copy or will have for more than a week.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I’ll open the gate for book discussion later.<\/p>\n

Please don’t tell me about typos (I know there are some)–let my joy be unconfined for awhile.\u00a0 It took a long time to get here, and I need to bask a bit (only a bit–have to finish those revisions…and continue with book three.)<\/p>\n

Enjoy yourselves.\u00a0 The week has already complicated itself more than it was two days ago,\u00a0 and I might not post every single day this coming week, but I’ll try.\u00a0\u00a0 Revisions really do have to trump posts, though.\u00a0\u00a0 So does getting M- to and from work on time, dealing with the sacrificial lamb (well…going to be sacrificed to a love of lamb curry,\u00a0 lamb stew,\u00a0 rack of lamb, etc.)\u00a0 and scuttling around to all the bookstores in Austin that carry the book, to sign shelf stock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
