So, again I want to thank everyone who participated in the ARC contest. That was really fun for me, and it makes me happy that you want to read
In a Fix. Like I said, I wish I had a copy to send to each and every one of you.
Alas, I don't. And, frankly, the postage would kill me.
BUT there is a way (actually, a couple) you can still read early, if you're game.
One of my writer friends, the
super-sweet bad-ass
Karla Nellenbach, suggested an ARC tour. She even said she'd handle the details for me. You know how happy that makes me?
THIS Happy:
It'll go something like this:
1. If you'd like to read the ARC, it will be mailed to you. (If you happen to live in the US, that is. Out of US-ers, stay tuned. There may still be a way.)
2. When you're finished (maybe taking no more than a week? don't worry--I've been told it's a very fast read), you send it to the next person on the list (name and address supplied by either Karla or me via email). I think there'll be a place inside the book where you can sign your name, so I'll have a Really Cool souvenir when the book gets back to me!
3. Sometime in the future (a little closer to the September 4th release date), mention
In a Fix on some social media platform, whether it's your own blog, a Goodreads review, Twitter, Facebook, or a bookselling site, like Amazon or Barnes & Noble. Just give your honest opinion of it--you're not required to blow smoke up my nether region.*
That's it!
*Bear in mind that "Boy, that's a book all right--it has pages and everything!" is honest. No need to go into painful detail if you think it's a loathsome piece of ... um, dreck.
So, if you're interested in participating (and I'd LOVE it if do!), just email me at linda(dot)grimes(at)gmail(dot)com, and I'll put you on the list. First come, first serve. :)
Oh, and for book bloggers who may live out of the US, I've learned that
In a Fix will be on
NetGalley soon(ish). If you'd like to read and review it on your book(ish) site, and don't mind reading electronically, let me know and I'll have my publicist put your name on the list of approved readers.
(In other news, Tor assigned me a publicist! Yes, I've been dying to use "my publicist" in a sentence. Because, whoa, just typing it kind of gives me a little "this is really happening" tingle.)
Let's see, have I left out anything?
Oh, yeah. Today's question:
If you HAD to dance in a public place (we're talking no choice--like, the world would end if you don't), which dance would you choose:
A. The Charleston
B. The Bump
C. The Hokey-Pokey
D. The Chicken Dance
E. The Macarena
F. I'd Zumba, and pretend it's dancing.
G. All of the above
H. None of the above (heck, the world has to end sometime)
