New York City

Well folks, it looks like I’m going to be in New York City on Thursday and Friday this week.  (That’s May 10th and 11th, for those of you reading this from the future.)  The hotel room is booked, the hair is cut, the wardrobe is… well, it is what it is.

And I’m NOT AT ALL NERVOUS.

Why are you not nervous?

I am NOT AT ALL NERVOUS to be appearing on Good Day New York on Friday morning with the publisher (TWCS) to discuss Hellenic Immortal in front of, I’m sure, an extremely modest crowd consisting entirely of friends, family, and the entire East Coast and Canada.

Nope.  Not nervous at all.

New interview with Adam

For today’s blog tour stop we have Adam answering some questions over at Ja Citam, a ti?, a site which featured a review earlier in the week.  Adam was as talkative as ever.  Stop by and say hello.

Questions answered and other things

Question: Is Hellenic Immortal on sale in a print edition from Amazon?

Answer: It is available through Amazon here.  The semantic distinction has to do with the fact that TWCS is using a consignment approach to print book sales with Amazon right now.  In my opinion you’d be better served ordering it directly from the publisher, here.

Question: is Hellenic Immortal available on the Nook?

Answer: Not yet, but it will be in the next day or two.  Immortal is available on the Nook right now, though, here.  Also note Barnes & Noble is discounting it right now.

Question: I saw your name attached to an ebook called The Other Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook, but when I bought it I found it had nothing to do with you.  What’s that about?

Answer: Nobody actually asked me that, but it seemed like a good time to bring this up.  A company I am unassociated with put up a $3.99 version of my legitimate book The Other Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: A Parody in ebook format.  The contents are… well, who knows what they are, but they aren’t mine.  I’ve had the bogus listing pulled from Amazon, but it’s still up on iBooks and Nook.  DON’T BUY IT.  There IS a legitimate ebook version of this parody.  You can find it here.  It says “anniversary edition” and it’s only on sale at Amazon at this time.

New Hellenic Immortal review

My new best friend Tracy James Jones, who checked in earlier with a review of Immortal apparently speed-read Hellenic in time to get a review up.  You can read it here.

Blog tour: Books on the Verge

If you can pull yourself away from the fact that Hellenic Immortal is available right now, take a minute to stop by Dorothy Distefano’s Books on the Verge for an interview with me and Adam.  Or of Adam interviewing me.  And say hi to Dorothy.  She was one of my beta readers, so be good to her.

Happy release day!

Today’s the day so stop what you’re doing and run!! to your local online merchant and pick up your copy of Hellenic Immortal!

Or, you know, click on one of these links and see how that works.  No running required.

Review and short interview

Today the tour stops in with Astrid Paramita, who not only has some nice words about Hellenic Immortal, but thinks it might just be a better novel than Immortal is.  Do I love hearing that?  Yes, yes I do.

Wired.com’s GeekDad

Hellenic Immortal review

A big week

The official release of Hellenic Immortal is on May 3rd, which is somewhere between forever and minutes from now, depending on my mood.  To kick off the event we will be having a good old fashioned big-ass blog tour!  Herewith, the badge for said big-ass blog tour!

To start things off we have a few reviews.

Over at Great Minds Think Aloud comes a great review of Immortal by Tracy, who appears to have liked the book quite a lot.  (Why a review of Immortal for a blog tour promoting Hellenic Immortal?  Because we’re promoting both books this week.)

At Cafe Art Space you’ll find a nice review of Hellenic Immortal waiting for you there.

And finally, at Ja Citam, A Ti? you will find a review of Immortal waiting for you there.  Mercifully, in English.

Blogs will be updating more than once a day all week, and I will do my best to keep you all updated.

IBooks

You would think given that I read books on my iPad all the time, and that I use the iTunes bookstore, iBooks for all my iReading, that I would do something any normal writer would be expected to do, like, say, obsessively check for my own book in their store.

I did not do this, which is why today while I am announcing the great news that iBooks is carrying Immortal, I cannot sincerely tell you how long this has been true.  I am just very happy that it is true.

Immortal on iBooks

But look at me burying the lede!  The BIG news is that you can pre-order Hellenic Immortal from iBooks right now!

Let me say that louder.

YOU CAN PRE-ORDER THE EBOOK FOR HELLENIC IMMORTAL ON IBOOKS RIGHT NOW!

I can’t build a link to it, but if you open up iBooks and do a search for my name, you’ll find it.

(You will also find a bogus listing for The Other Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook there.  The contents are a Joseph Conrad novel.  Apple, you’re the best.)
