YES YES BOOK RELEASE YES YES YES!

And now, a break from the twisted romances and gothic fairy tales, because...

PLEASE DON'T TELL MY PARENTS I'M A SUPERVILLAIN IS OUT!

It was supposed to be out yesterday, but Amazon happened.  Currently, the ebook is available from Amazon and from Nook.  Paper books and purchasing from Kobo are winding their way through the system.  The internet is much slower than you would think.

Easy purchasing link for Amazon:


Yes, it's this cool.  Buy here!



I hope I don't have to tell anyone what it's about by now.  Do you want to read a book about a middle school girl supervillain?  Then press Amazon's luridly inviting 'Buy Now' button, and get ready for a fun read.

For those interested in a quick 'behind the scenes peek' into the publishing process...

The book was supposed to come out for sale yesterday, and technically it did, late last night.  You would think adding a book to Amazon is a straightforward process - fill out the appropriate forms, send it in, and it goes on their list.  In fact, it normally takes about 24 hours, and there's no guarantee that it won't take much more.  Computers move at the speed of light, but bureaucracies don't.  Once the book was up, I had to go in and tell Amazon as an author that it was my book, and that took a few hours to confirm.  Can't blame them on that part.  It clearly needs human judgment.  Now the book's Amazon page is not finished, because only the author can set it up properly.  I'm waiting on instructions from Curiosity Quills as to what needs changing.  You can buy the book now, but the page will soon be prettier, or have useful cross-links, or... I don't know.  It's Sunday, and nobody's gotten back to me yet.
