Today's the day! BOUND has been released into the wild!
I wanted to celebrate properly this time. A girl doesn't have a book come out every day, you know, much less one that concludes a trilogy. And frankly, my method of marking TANGLED's publication...left a little to be desired.
This time, I wanted to do something different. Something important. Something involving shopping, because I am most often motivated by rewards. Something like...
...a new water heater.
It's not glamorous, I'll give you that. But I spent all weekend without hot water, which meant no showers, no laundry, and no dishwasher. And while my love of shiny electronics is great, the ability to wash my hair whenever I want is even greater.
(Clearly, I would not fare well in a dystopian society. I'd be the girl in the corner pitching a fit about how the world is ending due to a natural disaster/terrorist act/global warming/zombie virus/rise of the machines, and everybody knows that girl gets picked off by the end of chapter 3.)
In all seriousness, it's an exciting day. The culmination of a lot of work by a lot of people -- my family, my friends and critique partners, my amazing agent and her team, the incredible people at KTeen, and you guys, who have read the book and cheered me on and given me something to strive for. I'm so very grateful to all of you. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: luckiest girl in the world. Thank you.
I've got all sorts of fun book stuff planned for the summer, but today, it seemed fitting to give away the entire series -- all three books and a healthy dose of swag. Of course, giveways involving the last book of a series are tricky, so if you already have a copy of TORN or TANGLED (or both) I'll swap out those books for another title I've read and loved.
All you have to do is leave a comment! Contest is open until noon CST on Thursday, June 28th, and as always, it's international.
And now I'm off to take another shower. Just because I can.
