"In Short" by Rachel Hadeli Lie (you know, me)

[Rachel, First Lady]

Hi guys! :)

I am happy to say that my self-published book, In Short, will be available to pre-order in a couple of months. I am very excited and there will be a lot of exciting fun stuff happening soon too. I hope you all can be a part of this journey with me because if anything, your thoughts and feedback means the most.

The book is a compilation of short stories and poems, but of one timeline. I will give you more info in time. For the time being, please follow my Instagram for the latest updates: @roseyinthesun

I really do hope you guys will enjoy the book and I can't wait to share it with all of you.

Sending much love your way.

To gear up everyone for my book's release, I thought I'd post some of my poems every now and then right here, so that you can get an idea of what my book will be like.

So here goes:

[shanghao]

congrats rachel, wish you all the best and rock that talent! short of actually going to the launch (might not be in town then), where's the best place to get your book?

[Sekarlangit]

Congratulations, Rachel! I can't wait to grab one copy! :)

[Robert]

[Sofia]

[Zara (Foxing Pages)]

[Namida]

Rachel, congratz! I've been following ur IG for a few months. Nice poems you wrote :) I wish i could come to ur event. It's not too far from my home. But too bad my hands are tight with my baby. Wish you all the best, rach :)

[Rachel, First Lady]

Thank you for all the kind words, guys! If you do happen to be in the area, or if your schedule suddenly opens up, please do not hesitate to come by! It'll be nice to finally meet all of you :)

For those asking, my book is currently still being processed to be released in Kinokuniya and/or Periplus, but again, it is still under consideration so I can't give you a timeline for that just yet. You can, however, get it from Binarupa Aksara, or the easiest way is to actually get it directly from me. If you're interested to purchase one, you can just contact me and I'll be happy to ship them to you personally.

@Namida: Thank you for the follow! I'm so happy to know that you're enjoying them! It's OK about not being able to come, I completely understand. Hope you and your baby are doing well!

Looks great! Would've loved more sneak peeks to actual content of your book :D I liked the poems I've read so far.
(Btw, your radio session wouldn't stream for me, I hope it went well!)

[Eddline]

Hi, I would really like to go to your book launching. It sounds really good and I'm so excited for you! But it's quite far from where I live, I hope I can make it though:(

We had a debate during post-production about including more content VO or not. It was a creative decision to not, haha. The trailer serves as a mood board for what you'll be getting in my book :) Yes, I heard about the streaming not working for a lot of people. I'm so bummed about it, but thank you for trying. It went well, thank you for asking :)

Hi Eddline! Thank you for your interest in coming! Should you come to the launch, do identify yourself as a book club member and I'll try to sit you with the rest of the other members from here! :)

[Eddline]

Ok so if I'm going tomorrow, when I arrive I should identify myself first there? Ok thank you so much!

Hi Eddline, just to clarify, the launch is on Sunday, the 31st of May 2015, not tomorrow :) Yes, there'll be a registration desk, you can just let the person in charge know that you're from Goodreads and then she'll inform me :) Thank you!

[Fadilla]

Hi Rachel, sorry for couldn't make it to your book launch because I'm still out of town. But I've got the copy (the signed copy of your book. Yay!) and I've seen some of the photos of the event. Congratulations, I can't wait to read your book!

[Rachel, First Lady]

Thank you Fadilla! Do tell me which stories you like best! :)

Have fun wherever you are!

Hugs.

[Rini]

Congratulation Rachel, is it now available on any bookstore? Can't wait to read the book. Sorry, I couldn't come to the launch, cause I'm out of town...

[Rachel, First Lady]

Hi Rini! For the time being you can get it directly from me :) If you're interested, please send me a DM.

Thank you!

Hugs.

[Rachel, First Lady]
