Anyway, as usual, here's is my twisted teaser for my upcoming novel Lament. It feels weird to say that I'll be posting a teaser every Tuesday until its release, since it's already shipping from Amazon, but the truth is that it doesn't hit major bookstores until Oct. 1st, four Tuesdays from now. So. Here's another teaser, relieved of spoilerness by the simple device of replacing the human characters with octopi.
More lovely reviews over the weekend, by the way, but I figure you're tired of them by now. We'll just go for the greatest hits:
"Lament was, to put it mildly, simply fabulous." - Julie Kagawa.
"Watch out Melissa Marr and Holly Black, there is a new faerie Queen in town!" - the Story Siren.
"ooooh, the smooching scenes. I cannot wait to read the sequel, Ballad." Robin Bridges
and of course
"Overall, this is a really fun book, genuinely hilarious and smart and sad. If nothing else, you've gotta love a book that begins, 'You'll be fine once you throw up,' and then uses the phrase 'puke arc'; in a way that is actually funny and not disgusting." - Skirmish of Wit

My copy arrived in the mail yesterday - pre-ordered from Amazon - I begged my husband to hide it for me until after I get my new work done for a show in October!
I thought, Maggie, being goal-reward oriented, that you wouldn't mind...
Since I love book stores, I'm waiting til October so I can buy a couple of other books while I'm there.
Maggie: I'd love to get your Cats of the Old Masters in a poster form. Is that available from Cafe Press, couldn't find it.Sorry to post on your blog about your book but I have no idea what I'm doing.
Counting down the days to Oct 1st!
Tania -- I'm flattered to be used as reward! whoo!
E - your wish is my command. :) cat posters!
Kim - that makes two of us!
I got my copy Monday...I'm about 3/4 of the way through it. I recognize the teaser!! The book is great so far, I have to force myself to put it down when I have to. :)
