Week 13

This week my publishers placed the finished book—which currently feels a long way from finished—on LibraryThings’s Earlier Reviewer’s list for next month’s giveaway. It will be advertised on their site throughout October for prospective reviewers to bid on, then sent out early in November. As much as it panics me to do this now, it has to be done so that reviews are being generated when the book is actually published in late November. Click on the above link if you’d like to bid, and are prepared to give an honest review—you do need to sign up to LibraryThing, though.

As far as this week’s chapter goes, when Gooseberry sends George to deliver the note to Mr. Hook (the Client), I saw a golden opportunity to bring the monkey (who answers all your questions) back into the story. Well, I’d be a fool to pass up a chance like that!

Till next week,
Michael
