Several people are asking when How To Ditch Your Fairy will be available for purchase. You have a mere four weeks to wait! The release date for the USA and Canada is 16 September 2008. I don’t have a release date for the German edition but will let you know as soon as I know.
The novel I just finished the zero draft of has the nickname of Liar Book. Yes, it has an actual proper name. No, I’m not telling you what that title is. As mentioned many times previously it is the same title as a song by an all-girl band of the 1990s. You have to guess the name of the song NOT the name of the band. There have been many guesses they have all been wrong. It will be published by Bloomsbury USA in September 2009.
As for the people asking where in the world are we. We are in a top sekrit bunker. Don’t you people pay any attention? Sheesh.
There have been a bunch more lovely reviews of HTDYF but I seem to have lost most of the links I was saving. Oops. Here’s a happy making one from Leila Roy of Bookshelves of Doom. She likes my world building, seeing as how I pride myself on it, I were dead chuffed at the compliment.
Now back to turning the zero draft into a first draft. And trying very hard to ignore the Olympics. So. Very. Hard. I love the Lymps!
Note: Yes, I am still without regular internets and thus am massively behind with email etc. Hope to catch up when we return to NYC in Sept.
I luv the Olympics too, especially the football, handball and hockey.
GO THE HOCKEYROOS! They are sosososososososososo AWESOME.
??? I wouldn’t know where to begin guessing. A song from an all-girl band from the 90s … I’ll just wait til the title name’s released :).
Hmm, that makes it a month til the book comes out – hey, what about an Aussie release date, or is it the same?
See ya
I read the bookshleves of doom review yesterday. I always take Leila’s advice; love her reviews. A good review from her is gold!!!
Might have been said already, but Our Lips Are Sealed? (The Go-Go’s were 80’s and 90’s I think…)
Wow. Even I can’t ignore the Olympics. And I don’t usually care much for sports. You and Chris Crutcher have got me to care a little, though.
The Spice Girls were an all-girl band of the 90’s…so I’m gonna guess that the title is “Wannabe”. Hehe. 🙂
“Get over yourself” by Eden’s Crush
Or, the obvious choice– “Bootylicious”
My guess is Wannabe, a song from the Spice Girls, that was big in the 90s. Though they weren’t a band, just a group, but wannabe and liar, I think kind of go together, in a way.
The release date for the USA and Canada is 16 September 2008.
Butbutbut…what about Austraaaaalia? Angus & Robertson’s website is down, and Galaxy Books don’t have it in their catalogue. Are we not getting it except on import?
Cannot wait to read the new book. All your previous ones remain at the top of my favorites list!
Being that you are Australian is it possible it’s the Australian all-girl band Girlfriend?
What about “Why Do I Lie?” by Luscious Jackson?
You’re in MJ’s novel place thingy??? You’re a part of the scavenger hunt??
What did you sell to the Queen?
Never mind about the scavenger hunt, I was testing out a theory. I was wrong, lol.
HypotheticalDystopia: Good. Cause I had no idea what you were talking about. Good luck with your hunt thingie.
