Murder of Angels

Addendum: The UPS guy came about 5:45 this afternoon, bringing me four copies of Murder of Angels. I spent the next hour or so just sitting staring at one of them, flipping through the pages, grateful that it's mostly as I meant it to be (including my weird layout), grateful for the cover and that my editor did such a good job with the whole package. But mostly I just feel weird. And a little numb. This is usually how I feel when a novel is released. Not happy. Not much of anything. There it is. Here I am. I did it again. Five times now.

Spooky snapped a couple of pictures, a few minutes after I opened the package (Blog readers go to LJ to see them):



This one's pretty dark, but you get the point,



The neat thing about this shot is how well it shows off the scar in my left eye that renders me half-blind. One eye red. One eye yellow.


Anyway, I need to have some dinner, and then I'll probably just sit and hold this thing a while longer.

Congrats! It must be like a long over due birth of some kind. I cannot WAIT to get my hands on one.

That's pretty much what I do whenever I get a book I've been itching to acquire, too.

Congrats! Can't wait to read it!

Do you know a good way to clean drool off a keyboard? I wish I had a reasonable simile to express how much I am anticipating this book's arrival in my not-so-meager hands.

Are you Hindu, or were you just like "hmmm...today feels like a Hello Kitty day. Oh yes, and a bindi. Yes...definitely a bindi day..." Stylin' : )

I join the well-wishers. And that picture with the red-gold eyes is perfect. Congrats!

Nope. I'm not Hindu. I'm not really much of anything. But I like that bindi are symbolic of femininity, and I think they accent faces nicely.

And that picture with the red-gold eyes is perfect.

Further evidence....

Just some info on bindis: it is symbolic of femininity, but it's exclusively worn by a Hindu woman who is married. Its Western analogue would be the wedding ring.

And I am married, though the state may not recognize that marriage as legal. Ergo...

I think it's idiotic that your state doesn't recognize your marriage as legal.

I feel irrationally relieved that what we're seeing is not actually a pimple or mole.

I wanna read that Murder of Angels book like you wouldn't believe. I think I'd even murder an angel if he or she stood between me and it. I've been especially keen on wanting to read since you described it as a sort of David Lynch meets Alice in Wonderland, but just the idea in itself of one of your books having a big, fully realised alternate dimension is too appetising for words.

I don't suppose there's any chance for a video game based on this thing?

The cover of the book screams, "Buy me!" Nice job on the design.

And thank you for the monster doodle of Cthulhu's Chihuahua. It's horrifying and cute at the same time. Rather like my cat at 5:30 in the morning...

I was particularly proud of that one.

So, you DO have one of these
I followed the link from Poppy, who found my journal just the other day. Thought I'd stop in and wave.
