rolanniToday is the Official! Release! Day! for Fledgling
What can you do to celebrate Theo's flight from web serial to hardcover?
I'm glad you asked.
Cake and ice cream are, of course, always in order. Ticker tape parades are also appropriate, but hard to coordinate.
You might also do the following:
1. Visit your favorite brick-n-mortar store to congratulate Fledgling in person, where it sits on the shelf.
1a. If Fledgling is not on the shelf, politely ask a friendly bookstore staffer when it will be available.
1b. If they say, "It hasn't been ordered in," "Never," or other variations on the theme, politely ask them to order it.
1c. In all cases, thank them for their time. Yes, they work in a bookstore, which is a very cool job, but still, some days one 'thank you' goes a long, long way.
More ways to celebrate!
2. Introduce Theo to a friend or co-worker.
3. If you have Fledgling in-hand, read it!
4. If you've already read it, blog it, or post a review on Amazon.com, bn.com, LibraryThing or the social networking site of your choice.
5. Ice cream and cake!
I hung the SFRevu review review of Fledgling on my office door, next to an image of the book cover.
