The time is upon us: bookstores make a considerable portion of their annual profit between roughly now and Christmas, and that reason is, y’know, books make great gifts for the holiday season. (And also, hey, they make excellent gifts to ourselves during this current period of renewed fuckery.)
As such, people ask how they can get my books for others or themselves, particularly my books signed and personalized, and the way you do that is by buying books through Doylestown Bookshop.
You can find a list of my books for sale from them right here.
(Their ordering system has changed a little bit, but I believe the general idea is the same: if you order online, there is a CUSTOMER COMMENTS section you can use to say, “Hello I want this personalized and signed to my nephew, Splugorth, thank you.” Otherwise, you can always just call the store, too.)
I’ll also add that, if you care to buy Black River Orchard, I’ve still got some evil apple stickers from Natalie Metzger, and will gladly furnish your orders with those stickers for as long as the supply lasts. And I’ll do one more (and likely final) round of give you your very own evil apple for all orders of that book between now and Christmas. Which is to say, I will name a unique evil apple variety all for you in the book when I sign it.
Black River Orchard paperback is here. There may be hardcovers available still but there I think you’ll need to call.
My other new one, if you’ve got kids, is Monster Movie!
And if you’ve got a writer in your life who is mayyyyyybe struggling with making the word sauce or just pushing past all the *clumsy gesticulations toward the world beyond this blog* hey, there’s Gentle Writing Advice.
(Another gift idea is pre-ordering The Staircase in the Woods, which comes out in April. I mean, maybe that’s a gift more for me than for you. It could be like, a future gift, though. From Current You to Future You. How fun!)
Okay! Merry Happy Whatever to you, and even if you’re not checking out my books this holiday season, bookstores are good, go to them, give them money, give yourself books, it’s a wonderful JOY CIRCUIT.
