Guess What Day It Is!

Golem in My Glovebox is out!

I cannot begin to describe what it’s like to know there were people sitting up last night, waiting for their e-readers to kick in and download their pre-order at the moment it was released. I have no words for that. I can tell you that I’m trying not to cry this morning, though. This is my fourth book release, and I’m hoping to make it through (for the first time) without bursting into over-emotional tears.

I’m walking a very thin line. I don’t think I’m going to make it.

I am so very grateful to every one of you who’s taken the time to tell me how much you love these books. I had hoped a few people would enjoy what I’d written. I didn’t expect so many people to truly love them. Today, especially, I want to reach out and hug all of you.

But enough of the emotional stuff. Let’s leave that for Zoey. I just wanted to stop by and wave on my way out the door.

For each of the previous release days, I’ve stationed myself in front of my laptop checking sales ranks, watching for reviews, and thanking people for their congratulations. I’m usually a complete mess by the end of the day. (Refresh, refresh, refresh.)

Today is going to be different. By the fourth book release in a year and a half, I should be a pro, right? My wonderful husband took the day off from work. We’re going out. There’s a King Tut exhibit I want to see. A restaurant that serves burgers via a model train that runs around the room. There might even be a trip to the planetarium and the LEGO store.

I’m not even going to pretend that I won’t be checking my phone all the time. And I’m not going to promise that I won’t burst into tears the minute my husband comes out of the bedroom and tells me “Happy release day!”

But I will be thinking about all of you today, wherever I end up going. Because without my awesome readers, today would be just another Monday in just another April.

Thanks for taking this ride with Zoey and me.

See you real soon!
