More News and Stuff
Things are gearing up in a big way for next month’s release of Pooka in My Pantry. I know there hasn’t been a lot of activity over here lately. I’ll try to do a bit better, but until this book is out, I don’t want to make promises.
But that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten about you. In fact, the Zoey and Maurice short story I’ve been promising for so long should be ready this week. As soon as it’s back in my hands, I’ll let you know. In order to get it right away, you’ll have to be signed up for the newsletter, though. I promise, the newsletter won’t go out often. But when it does, it’ll have exclusive news or stories or contests or discounts. You know. Stuff. You can go here to sign up for the newsletter.
I’m hard at work writing guest blog posts and answering interview questions for the Pooka in My Pantry blog tour. I’ll give you the full line up closer to the time, but I’m going to be everywhere. If you were around for the Monster in My Closet blog tour, you’ll remember how many stops I made. Forget that. This is much, much bigger. I hired Bewitching Book Tours to set it up for me, and it’s a month-long tour of stops at 20+ blogs. I have a lot of writing to do. See the pretty graphic they made for the tour?
Right before the blog tour wraps up on April 11, I’ll be spending the weekend of April 6 & 7 at Bartle Hall in Kansas City. It’s official–I’ll be a guest at Planet Comicon. I’m not so awesome yet that I’m a celebrity guest, but I will be sitting at a table with my buddy Jason Arnett, signing postcards and bookmarks. Or feeling foolish and twiddling my thumbs. It could go either way.
Come see me. Please.
In the meantime, blog posts and interviews to write, line edits for Fairies in My Fireplace should hit my inbox today, and I’ve been busy outlining book four, Golem in My Glovebox. I think you’ll like the golem. His name is Griswold, and he’d very much like to be “a real boy.” Sort of.
So, that’s all I’ve got for you for the moment. I’ll check in again soon, probably with information on the new short story I have for you. I’ve taken a hiatus from the Confabulator Café for a month or two so I can get everything sorted, but you should still check in over there. This week they’ve got flash fiction stories for you, so you shouldn’t miss them just because I’m not there.
Stay safe and warm. See you real soon!
Hey Rachel,
You were so kind to respond to my original post back several weeks ago, that I hesitate to bring up a problem I have. But it might be serious.
Well, I felt the least I could do was Nookload “Monster in My Closet” and the seeds of my destruction were sown–so to speak. Looking up at the cover of “Pooka in My Pantry,” I can only assume that the gifted young lady there is supposed to be Zoey. Okay, well I didn’t know that when I read MiMC. Through the whole book I kinda had my own picture of what Zoey looks like and, well, this is her:

Am I in some kind of trouble?

Ha! I didn’t choose the model for the covers, so you’re not in any trouble with me. Personally, I’ve started thinking about her more like Emma Stone: http://cdn.ndtv.com/movies/images/emma-stone-read.jpg But the Wendy’s actress did make me laugh. You can imagine Zoey any way you like. I won’t think any less of you.
Oh damn! I KNEW I lived on the wrong continent!! I would have been there in a minute if I was nearby! 🙂 I do hope you’ll have fun, though!!
P.S. Can’t wait for the short story!!
I would have loved to meet you in person! Maybe I’ll get to go on a live, international book tour someday. You never know!
I’m pretty sure you’ll need an assistant on this international book tour Rach. Me thinks! 😉 I’m very organized! 😀
Also, you can cook, and I have a tendency to forget to eat. I’ll keep all this in mind!
Well, one can hope! 🙂
