Hello everybody -- It's Michael Strong from Regal Literary, Audrey's literary agency. First, I want to thank Lori for agreeing to host and moderate this with Audrey. Audrey knew about Goodreads when I brought it up with her, of course, and she is happy to answer some questions. We're going to try to make time to do an online chat at some point -- but there are so many events she is appearing at, that the only times we had in the next week or so were terrible, and then she is going to be at bookstores in Europe for a few weeks, so we'll try later in the fall.

I wanted you all to know that we are giving away FREE Advance Reader Copies (also called galleys, and quite rare) of HER FEARFUL SYMMETRY in a lottery (we actually have quite a few...so it's worth signing up). We just ask that you join her facebook fan page for Her Fearful Symmetry and send an email to my assistant Amanda at hfs@regal-literary.com so she can keep track of everyone who enters.

Also, the Facebook fan page has Audrey's schedule on it (she's traveling to many cities, so will be near you at some point this year, probably), and it has interviews that we made here at Regal Literary, where she talks a lot about writing this book. I'll be posting new video materials to the Facebook page today to keep it fresh. Oh, and it has the AMAZING NYTimes Sunday Book Review that is coming out two days from now -- we got an advance peed and it is...very positive!

=)

We have TWO more special offers going on Facebook. One is for bloggers, the other is for bookclubs. More free books, but the really cool prize is that one blogger is going to be flown to Chicago to have dinner with Audrey, and the other prize is that Audrey is going to visit a bookclub on her tour. Believe it or not, we've only got a few entries for the bookclub offer, so you have a realistic chance of winning if you enter, at least right now...

Hi Audrey, Hi Michael.
Wow, I wasnt expecting activity here so soon! I was working and missed out on some of the fun (awww man!)

First, I want to thank Audrey for taking time from her very busy schedule to visit us here and answer some questions. Hopefully we will see some more quesitons posting over the weekend... I cannot tell you how excited I am about this opportunity!

Michael has been a wonder to work with and did a great job helping me prepare and set this whole thing up! So thanks Michael for being available and willing to answer my oh-so-many emails!

I was thinking the same thing.

I did the contest thing. Thanks for letting us know, Michael!

[Lisa]

I did too but I don't do much on facebook and I'm no there with a different name. Do we have to watch for special updates on facebook or do anything else? Thank you for any need to know information.

I tried to enter the contest. I am on facebook and I added me as a fan. I think we will be updated

[JG (Introverted Reader)]

Did you send the email to his assistant also?

[Lisa]

I did JG, but forgot to mention my different names. ;-)
