It's alive! Through the mysterious workings of fate we received early copies of AFTER HOURS: TALES FROM THE UR-BAR, and are still bouncing with glee.

Joshua Palmatier gave me my copy last week (at a bar, naturally) then swore me to silence until we could present a copy to Avery Shade at our next writers' gathering. Last night Avery got to experience that first time thrill of opening a book, seeing your name on the pages, and going "Eeek! That's me! I wrote that!"

Meanwhile, Joshua and I were going "Eeek! This is ours! We edited this!"

All of which was accompanied by pizza, red wine, chocolate and beer. Or, in other words, a typical meeting of the Binghamton critique group.

For the rest of you, the book goes on sale on March 1st. Preorder your copy now--it will be the collectible of the season, and a can't miss gift for St. Patrick's Day.

You couldn't have asked for a better time for release. About the only thing that would have made it better would be coupons inside for Murphy's or Guinness. ;-)

The timing is indeed perfect. And it gives us the perfect excuse to host signing events at bars....

Isn't it? And don't worry, you can get your copy autographed at the next con.

Squee!! That means my copy must be somewhere in the mail!

ETA: Rats, I misread the date. Still, only a few weeks to go :)

But really not long at all. It's now weeks not months.
