It feels so weird, guys, to be here right now after a year of waiting. And after starting these teasers a few months ago . . . now I'm at the last one. Just whoa. WHOA.
So here's the week's festivities, for those who are interested.
Virtual Launch! Tomorrow (Wednesday) is the virtual book launch over at Enchanting Reviews, 9 pm EST. If you e-mail me before the virtual chat launch and tell me what song is mentioned on page 27 of LAMENT and then make an appearance at the chat, you'll be entered into a drawing to win cool swag like signed copies, homicidal faerie T's, and more.
Over at Merry Sisters of Fate today is Lamentiganza (I hope I'm spelling that right) all day today with the other sisters from the Merry Sisters of Fate writing fun posts about the top ten reasons why you should read LAMENT and other things .
I'm also guest-blogging a couple of places, and I think those will be up tomorrow. I'll be at Miladyinsanity, SeaHeidi, and David Bridger's blog. Oh, and there will be a (possibly embarrassing) podcast interview of me up at Les Bonnes Fee, where they've already reviewed LAMENT and said:
... Lament’s true strength lies in Stiefvater’s characterisations. Deirdre has a wonderfully authentic teen voice, Luke (the gallowglass) is tortured but not whiny, and James (the best friend would-be boyfriend) is wise-cracking and kind-hearted without being puppyish. Even Stiefvater’s supporting cast, a collection of fairies, family, and surprising new friends, are well-rounded. Moreover, she deftly side-steps the first-time author trap of painting the story black and white, with “villains” who are anything but flat, dry, and uninteresting.
Les Bonnes Fee already has an excerpt up as well as some mp3s of music I wrote to go with LAMENT.
And of course there's the physical book launch in Carytown, Richmond, VA on Friday. Woof. I think that's all. I'll be other places too, but I'll mention them as I remember them! Onto the teaser:

I`ve just read a fragment from your novel and now i want to know what`s going to happen next there!It grabbed my attention literally from the first word,and I couldn`t cease to read until I was at the end of the fragment (way too short !!!) I `ll be looking for your books. ;-)
Liked the music very much,it goes together splendidly with the novel,I wish there were more of it! You are very,very talanted.
Best of luck to you !
Good luck with the book release Maggie... although you've proven time and time again that luck has very little to do with it!
So... when can we expect the release of the film version? ;)
Hi Maggie,
I loved your book and can't wait for the next one. Do we really have to wait a whole year? *sigh*
Sandrine -- great! If you get a chance, a review on Amazon on Goodreads saying what you loved about it would be much appreciated!!
