In Search of the Magic Theater launches June 1st--in other words, in just over a week--and so I'm in the midst of a frenzy of pre-launch tasks and being kept awake at night by worries about what I either haven't gotten around to or is out of my control.
Some good things:
NetGalley reviewers still have a few days left to access the novel there (come on, you can do it! write those reviews!)
TLC Book Tours has set up a blog tour for me and I've sent out advance reader copies to the bloggers; I don't yet have the schedule, though.
Some potentially good but naggingly incomplete things:
The owner of a local cafe likes the idea of hosting my book launch, but I haven't been able to nail down the specifics with him, and I need to be able to get publicity out.
I'll probably be doing a three-author event at a local Barnes & Noble in June, but again, we haven't yet managed to nail down a date that works for the bookstore and for all three authors.
And then there's the matter of lining up more bookstore events farther afield, as well as of non-book tasks like finishing up editing the spring newsletter for the Czechoslovak Studies Association.
I have some interesting bits of good news in the works too...
Some bookish
Archelaus cards waiting to be sent to the bloggers on my blog tour!
