October is here, and that means it’s almost time for HUNGER to officially hit the shelves! **happy dance** Release dates are interesting things: there’s the SHIP DATE, when the books leave the warehouse and are delivered to retail stores, and there’s the PUBLISH DATE, which is the official on-sale date. There’s usually a gap between these two dates of 1 – 2 weeks. For HUNGER, there was a 3 week gap.

What does this mean? For readers, there’s a good chance that HUNGER will be in stores before October 18. Lucky you!

I’ll be doing many blog tours this month, including Traveling to Teens and the Crossroads Blog Tour. I’ll also be at Bitten By Books, The Book Smugglers, Fragments of Life, La Femme Readers, Book Lovers Inc., Literary Escapism, SciFi Guy, and Amberkatze. And I’ll be doing a Big Idea over at John Scalzi’s Whatever.

And I’ll be around town too! If you live near the Albany, NY, area, I’ll be at Flights of Fantasy on October 18 and The Little Book House on October 30. And I’ll also be at Albacon over Columbus Day weekend.

And there will be new Post Mortem interviews.

Have a terrific weekend! See you online…
