Autographed copies of The Golden Lily and Frostbite graphic novel

Between supervillains and the writing process, we haven't talked much about my upcoming books in a while. This past weekend marked one month until the release of The Golden Lily, which comes out June 12 in English-speaking countries. I'm really excited by this book and think the ending will leave a lot of people saying, "Whaatttt?" If you haven't read the first chapter yet, it's here.

As usual, I will be autographing copies of The Golden Lily for University Bookstore. If you want an autographed copy, the detailed instructions are here on my website. The bottom line is that you order through their site and then note in the comments who you want the book (or books) made out to. University Bookstore can't ship TGL before its release date of June 12, so if you want a signed copy, you'll have to wait for it to get to you. (If you can't wait and don't need an autograph, pre-order at your local bookstore!). To make sure your book ships on release day, place your orders no later than about four days in advance of release date. The sooner, the better. I'll come in and sign a big ol' bunch of books, and then the store will ship them out!

And next week, we've got something else good: the Frostbite graphic novel comes out on May 24! (It's out in Australia/NZ already). If you've read the regular books, you know Frostbite is when things start to get crazy, so this is a good one. I'll also be autographing these for University Bookstore, and you can order them by following the same link above. To find the graphic novel on their website, do a title search for Frostbite and scroll down until you see the cover, which looks like this:



The Frostbite graphic novel can't ship before its release date of May 24, so it's the same deal. Place your order in advance, I'll sign it, and out it goes on release day. If you order both of these new books together, neither will ship until the later release day (June 12) unless you pay separate shipping. The store carries all of my other titles if you want signed copies of those, and they ship internationally. Direct questions to: ubsmail@u.washington.edu

Phew, that's a lot! I hope it all makes sense. I also want to add that although the store goes out of its way to get new books out on release day, it can't be held responsible for delays that are out of their control. Sometimes they don't get their shipments on time. Or, you know, I could break my hand. Those are unlikely, but I just want you to have the heads up. And of course, this is all only for signed books. You have lots and lots of other options to get my books elsewhere! However you manage it, I hope you enjoy them. This is going to be a good spring. :)
