Timbuctoo limited edition hardcover


Hello! I wanted to share a quick recap of news and coming events…


Hardcover


As you may already know, the Timbuctoo hardcover will be out next month. This is a very special edition, with six fold-out maps, marbled end-papers, a pouch at the back with goodies, a silk bookmark, and non-wood paper. It’s now available for pre-order on Amazon, or (if you’re in the US) you can enter for a chance to win one of six copies on Goodreads.


Once the book has been released, I will be holding pop-up sales in London, where you can get a signed copy. I’ll be sharing more details on this early next month.


Ebook


The Timbuctoo e-book launch was initially set for August. However, the date has been changed, and Timbuctoo is NOW available on Kindle and other e-readers. Click on one of the links below to get your copy:


Amazon US: http://amzn.to/MNdUyI

Amazon UK: http://amzn.to/MQH0Kg


If you’d like a preview before you buy, you can download the first chapter in PDF. Hope you enjoy it!


Q&A


In other news, I held my first AMA on Reddit yesterday afternoon. You can still access the questions and answers on Reddit, where the conversation will be archived. If you have any other questions for me, I will be holding an Author Q&A on Goodreads from July 1-15. Several conversation threads have already been set up, so please introduce yourself and feel free to get started asking questions at any time. I will begin answering them on July 1.


Meetup


If you’re in the UK, get ready for a Timbuctoo picnic, which will be held in London in mid-July. More details on that early next month. Keep your fingers crossed for good weather, as it will be held rain or shine.

Lubna WoW. I wish the giveaway was thrown open internationally. After all, you have fans across the world. It sounds like an awesome book, just like your other books.

I first did a UK contest, and now this is for the US. Unfortunately, the book is quite large and weighs 2kg, so that makes shipping a bit of a challenge.
