Well, it's been days since I've been insulted by an employee of Square Books. I thought about wandering inside the store today, just to see if the smirking hipster clerks would gather behind the checkout counter before launching a barrage of heavy thesauri toward me.
But it was raining, and frankly the smell of that patchouli-scented body wash they favor can be a bit cloying in close quarters. So I oped for walking indoors, instead.
Yes, I'm still steamed about that incident. In retrospect, I think I should have raised my voice and made a scene. At least I wouldn't still be stewing over a completely erroneous statement made by some empty-headed punk only minutes out of high school.
But enough about them. I shall put aside my ire, yea, I shall bury it deep. A plague of pimples upon them (hey, that part is working already).
The Broken Bell hits the shelves in just 22 days! Markhat fans, if you haven't pre-ordered, you can do so from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Samhain Publishing. I really think you'll enjoy this new outing with Markhat and the crew from Rannit. I'm still chuckling over one part in particular, and though I won't toss out spoilers concerning my own yet-to-be-released book, I will say that Mama Hog is in rare form this time around.
And please don't forget All the Paths of Shadow! You can get this in glorious print, if you want, in addition to every e-book format imaginable. Books make great Christmas presents, ya know -- so if there's a kid on your list, or an adult for that matter, consider a copy of All the Paths of Shadow.
Okay, time for me to get back to work. And don't you have some shopping to do? That's a subliminal hint, you know....

Glad you survived the little dig. ;) Can't wait for The Broken Bell.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hope you enjoy Broken Bell. I think it's my favorite of the whole series thus far.
ReplyDeleteI have no doubt I will, sort of patiently waiting.
