Various\u00a0Cormorant\u00a0<\/strong>newsy-bits!<\/p>\n

\u2022 Book launch! Next week! WORD Bookstore! Greenpoint, Brooklyn! 7pm. Details here<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, and please note that you can also buy the book from them either at the store or online.<\/p>\n

\u2022 I extended the deadline on the\u00a0Cormorant\u00a0<\/strong>photo contest (found here<\/strong><\/span><\/a>) by a week, to Jan 17th, as some folks said their copies were delayed getting to them. Win cool stuff. Books. Coffee gear.<\/p>\n

\u2022 At present, Amazon is offering the paperback of the book for ~$5.00<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Also, six reviews there so far. Plus, more at Goodreads<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. If you like the book, I’d be apple-cheeked and giggle-addled if you chose to tell some friends and leave a review somewhere.<\/p>\n

\u2022 A very kind\u00a0review at Tor.com<\/strong><\/span><\/a> — “Miriam the foul-mouthed, hard-drinking, chain-smoking, heroin chic road warrior, the self-styled ‘psychic assassin battling fate’ who is making her way down to Florida….Chuck Wendig dedicates\u00a0The Cormorant<\/em>\u00a0to ‘all the foul-mouthed miscreants and deviants who are fans of Miriam.’ Well, yes. Guilty as charged, I guess, and proud to be. Wendig has once again hit the sweet spot right between disturbing and entertaining. Maybe there shouldn\u2019t be a sweet spot there, but whatever\u2014he makes it work. If you\u2019re a fan of the series, don\u2019t miss\u00a0The Cormorant<\/em>.” Thanks, Stefan!<\/p>\n

\u2022 Related:\u00a0Blackbirds<\/strong> being free<\/strong><\/span><\/a> actually seems to have increased sales, not decreased them. It’s just one little data point, but make of it what you will. I appreciate Angry Robot being a cool-ass and brave enough publisher to even consider what to many is an anathema idea.<\/p>\n

\u2022 I think I’ll have a local PA event here next month, by the way, at the\u00a0Doylestown Book Shop<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

That’s all she wrote.<\/p>\n

Hope you’re enjoying the book, and hope you’ll take a moment to share this.<\/p>\n

Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
