By total happenstance, I just noticed that the book went up for pre-ordering at Amazon! Yay!
We're still looking at a spring release, but if you want to assure that it's in your hands the minute it comes out -- and do an author and her publisher a good turn by showing advance want for it -- you can click here and order early to get it as soon as possible at a nice price!

Great! I'll be ordering some copies: one for myself, a few for friends, and one to donate to my college library. (We'll see about school libraries...) The price is really affordable; I had expected it to be hardcover and more expensive.
Would it be possible to eventually get the books signed by the autor? Posts: 3318 | Registered: Jun 2003

Nope, not hardcover: it's trade paperback, and my publisher/editor is so cool that we were able to have a discussion about cost of the book, and how important it was for me that it was reasonable enough for my readerbase to be able to afford. Generally, even a trade paperback that size and quality (Avalon/Marlowe makes beautiful books) would be a little more costly.
Per signed books: when it comes out, I intend to order a couple cases of authors copies, and have signed copies to give in exchange for a substantial Scarleteen donation, probably $50 and up or some such.
(But getting them to volunteers is sort of another matter. )

Yeah, I'll be ordering, too. Glad it's not so terribly expensive, given that I am paying international shipping on top of it. Getting one copy for now, but will probably order some more for friends later (too bad it's in English, I'd love to get my cousin a copy, too).
And yes, a signed copy would be awesome. But I don't exactly have $50 bucks sitting around. Might have to pay a personal visit to the author some day, then.

Pre-orders actually help a lot with Amazon ranking and advance press, as well as with the first printing making enough for everyone, so I'm really grateful for any pre-orders.

I'm having an internal debate to pre-order it now, or buy it with my staff discount when it hits shelves in Borders or maybe I'll do both!

Mind, they're listing the old title (sigh, I liked that one so much, but ultimately, I think my pub was right in it not being pointed enough), but looks like you could pre-order it through Borders, too. Prolly could just do it right at work!
