Okay . . . that feeling when the roller coaster has gone through the last gear shift before it reaches the top of the first hill and your stomach has dropped out and somehow time is both moving way-too-fast-and-excruciatingly-slowly and you know it’s much, much too late to jump and the only thing to do is hold on and hope the ride is fun scary, not lose-your-lunch scary?

Yeah, that’s me right now.

The official countdown until the release of The Button Collector is now at four days.  Four days–three-and-a-half if you count the part of today that’s past. (I’m always foggy on that part.) I have postcards ready to mail.  I have a press release ready to send.  I have my beautiful advance copy in my hands….

And now, I also have a book giveaway on goodreads.

Watching people add my book to their to-read list and sign up to be in the drawing is a new experience for me.   It makes everything suddenly, incredibly real.

So, if you’re a goodreads member, pop on over to enter the giveaway.

We can cross our fingers together.
