Being an author is weird. You spend an inordinate amount of time alone, furiously writing about fictional people, and thinking of ways to make them to suffer. Then, if publishing buys the book, you spend even more time working on edits, copyedits, and whatever else is needed of you. Once all that is done, the book comes out, and this thing you carried in your ribs like a heart, this quiet beast you loved for so many long solitary months, is suddenly public property.
I am, as ever, SUPER EXCITED to read this! I pre-ordered a copy from my local indie bookstore that I still have to pick up, but we will probably pick up another tonight at your event. Maybe I will do a giveaway and send someone who can't afford it a signed copy of your book! PRESENT TO THE WORLD! Oh, you have readers. Believe you me, you have readers galore and aplenty.
The Salt Grows Heavy is out in the world
Loved the book! <3 (also I think Grandiloquent Word Of The Day made a reference to it, they posted the word Taiga right after your book was released)
Congrats on the new release!!! I had preordered it through my local indie bookstore and can't wait to read it! I'm so happy for you :)
I can't review it because you are my friend, but I am so looking forward to getting my hands on a copy.
Huge congrats on the new release!
