********************
It’s DO OR DIE eve, and I slept in a little this morning, like the mom who has wrapped all of the presents and even successfully built the bicycle without too much agony and blood loss. 🙂
Virtual signing hardcover copies of DO OR DIE and TPW DVDs signed and shipped. CHECK.
Boxes and other VS rubble (mostly) cleaned up from the living room. CHECK.
Raffle/door-prizes (including backlist audiobooks, international and/or manga editions, ARCs — some with marks and notes, copies of Ed’s books, copies of my favorite romance of 2013: GLITTERLAND, audio download codes for DO OR DIE…) for my first six book tour events gathered, packed, and ready to travel as I head north from Florida to Boston. CHECK.
Roll of raffle tickets for book tour event prizes dug out of the closet. CHECK.
Packing list started (note to self, it’s going to be cold! Leave flip-flops home). CHECK.
Pre-trip house cleaning…
Um…
That’ll top tomorrow’s to-do list, before I head out to the Barnes & Noble in Sarasota, for DO OR DIE’s release day celebration that starts at 7:00 p.m. It’s actually a good, earth-grounding policy to clean the house on the day of a book’s release.
(Here’re the deets of that first event, in case right now you’re saying to yourself, “Hey, I’m in Sarasota, too…”:
Tuesday, February 4, 2014: Sarasota, FL
7:00 p.m.
Q&A and signing, DO OR DIE release party!
Barnes & Noble
4010 S. Tamiami Tr
Sarasota, FL 34231
Store phone: 941-923-9907)
Write the final countdown page for my DO OR DIE Countdown blog. CHECK.
Thank you to all who’ve joined me for the countdown!
My work here is done. Now it’s time for DO OR DIE’s magnificent cover to do its job so that the book leaps off the bookstore shelves and computer screens, and into readers’ hands. 🙂
And it’s time for former Navy SEAL Ian Dunn to get to work, too. I hope you love him as much as Phoebe and I do.
Even though the countdown is over, come on back here to my blog to discuss DO OR DIE with other readers. Tomorrow I’m going to create a special page with a big SPOILER-alert sign, so that those of you who read really fast will have a place to book-talk, right there in the comments section. I’ll be out on the road very soon, but I’ll drop in as often as I can!
Love,
Suz
