Pre-order Deadroads!

You know, I'm actually unsure what punctuation to use in the subject line. I wanted to use a question mark, except that was way too Canadian, and then I wanted to use an exclamation mark but that seemed too enthusiastic (heaven forbid I would be enthusiastic about...my own writing). And then there was the period, but that seemed...

Punctuation. Either seems fine to me, though I'd avoid trying both and going for an interrobang.

Author headshot. Writer replica? Scribe sketch? Dramatist depiction? (I don't know why I'm stuck on alliteration there.)

[robin_riopelle]

Bwahahahaha. Alliteration is good, don't you know. I have one Spooky Scribe and one Monochromatic Melodramatist and one Speculated Spokesperson. And one Hungover Hack. Perhaps we'll leave that last one, hmmm?

[caffienekitty]

Depends, which do you think would speak most to your target readership? If you're after the 3AM boozers, maybe the last one's the one to go with.

Are bookshops open at 3am?

Personally, I liked the Beaker headshot! ;D

[robin_riopelle]

Me too! Lemmypie! Why couldn't you make me look like Beaker???

Ha ha I just tried to go to Amazon via your link and thought you'd like to know it was overloaded with interest!! LOL

PS - will it be available for Kindle?

[robin_riopelle]

Wow, that's pretty exciting, eh? I have no idea if it will be available for Kindle yet, but I imagine it will be, as that was part of the negotiations.

[amberdreams]

Great, I will wait for the e-version or a UK publication I think. It sounds good though... I bet you can't wait to have a printed copy in your hands!

[robin_riopelle]

A little bird told me it's also available for pre-order on amazon.uk. Which I find totally amazing. I had no idea that had happened. Again, see my earlier comments that I believe this publishing thing is all an elaborate scam, possibly perpetrated by my brother, who has long enjoyed yanking my chain.

Okay, I've pre-ordered it. :)

[robin_riopelle]

I'm rather giddy with the prospect of people reading it, actually. I'll be so interested in how people used to my writing like it (or not, as the case might be). Thanks.
