Reading INK in public for the first time at Readercon ...

 ... was absolutely terrifying. My hands shook so much at one point I had a problem scrolling to the next page of INK on the laptop.

Sheesh.

People get good at this, I know, because Barbara Krasnoff and Sandra McDonald who read before me were pretty terrific. And then some people, like Daniel José Older who read after me, are just naturals.

Ah well. I'm told I did fine and for once I'm choosing to believe it. ;)

Well, not my house — but at Crossed Genres Publications. I'll get to see my first perfect bound copy at Readercon 23 (where I'll be part of the Crossed Genres reading on Saturday at noon).

Excited doesn't even begin to cover how I feel...

So, the official launch date for my novel, INK, is October 15!

I'll post the cover as soon as it's set, and will post any info about a launch party (thinking, thinking).
Also, I'm definitely planning to be at Philcon. (Am also planning to go to Readercon, but only as a participant since my book won't yet be out).
