Call ahead before you run out, but in some B&Ns…
BEWARE, FORCES OF DARKNESS!
These heroes are going to rock your world.
(Top of the dump)
(On an endcap) Soooo pretty!
(The whole dump) Grimspace is in some bookstores now! It’s just too exciting.
So I’m noticing we have Simon Canderous on top, Jax in the middle, and Cal Leandros on the bottom. Now there’s a sexy-ass threesome.
More pictures, courtesy of the delightful and charming Lorelie. These were taken in oh-so-fabulous Fayetteville, NC.
wow.. congrats.. i cant wait to see and read it…
by Jolene February 20th, 2008 at 4:01 pmNice! :)
by wendy February 20th, 2008 at 4:02 pmAfter the other contest closes, I’m gonna run another one.
See, I can’t run out to a B&N because there are none here in Mexico. I can’t see this for myself for weeks! I’ll be stopping by bookstores in Atlanta and Birmingham to see for myself and possibly sign stock, but that’s not until mid-March.
I’m gonna deploy y’all in my stead, armed with your snapshot cell phones and digital cameras! Send me all the pics you can find, along with when and where, and I’ll enter you in a contest to win a big book gift certificate. The Snapshot contest won’t start until Feb 27, though.
My agent was sweet enough to send these pics to tide me over. :D
congrats. That is great.
by Larena Wirum February 20th, 2008 at 4:08 pmOh man, you MUST be in the throes of another squeegasm right now!
That is so freakin’ thrilling and I can’t wait till you get to experience it up close and personal for yourself.
Congrats, Ann!
by Bev(QB) February 20th, 2008 at 4:21 pmThat’s terrific! I’ve worked at lots of bookstores, and those endcaps really sell books!
by Kimberly B. February 20th, 2008 at 4:31 pmThanks, guys. I can’t wait to check it out for myself.
Kim, I sure hope so!
Whoever takes a picture, step to the side and take the shot at an angle. That way the flash won’t be such a solid white blotch.
by Amber February 20th, 2008 at 6:30 pmOkay, now I only need to figure out how to transfer pictures from my cellphone to the computer…
hmmmm
It can’t be that hard, can it? *says the techno moron*
And lemme tell you, guys, this book? it rocks!!! HARD!
Not that I’m fangrrrrrrly or anything.
by azteclady February 20th, 2008 at 6:47 pmEh, I thought it was super sweet of my agent to make a special trip to two different B&Ns on my behalf. I don’t think I’ll be criticizing her skill with a camera or giving her pointers. She’s busy enough selling books. Thanks anyway, though.
Azteclady, I use a USB cable or sometimes I just email the pictures to myself. I could do with a little fangrrrly, so I don’t mind
Thanks!
I think it would be easier for me to email them. Things electronic and me, we don’t get along. Really.
And I’ve already started spreading the word *evil cackle* *rubbing hands gleefully*
by azteclady February 20th, 2008 at 7:26 pmWoohoo! Awesome Display Ann! Wish I could reach into the computer and grab one,:D
by danette February 20th, 2008 at 7:46 pmCongrats Ann! That’s just way too cool.
by Karen Erickson February 20th, 2008 at 8:27 pmCongratulations Ann. That’s great.
by Crystal B. February 21st, 2008 at 6:14 amYou’re my hero. What a great success story. I’m so excited for you. Mega-congrats!
by bonnie dee February 21st, 2008 at 11:31 amGreat cover and I have spotted it in the store.
by Larena Wirum February 21st, 2008 at 2:35 pmThanks, Bonnie. *hug* I’m the poster-child for not-giving-up.
Eeeeeee! You did? How did it look?
Awesome display, Ann–I have begun one of Rob Thurman’s books so know the caliber you’re paired with (and yes, that is a yum-sandwich).
wowness.
by Kelly McCrady February 21st, 2008 at 5:34 pmMega Congrats to you, Ann!
by Laura K February 21st, 2008 at 11:34 pmIf I was in the store, I would have rearranged the books placing yours on top. That’s just the little minx in me!
Yay! I’m holding tight for my pre-order to arrive. Squee!!! Can’t wait!!!
And the display looks great, Ann! Jax is the meat in a man sandwich.
I’ll definitely keep my camera in my car as I tool around St. Louis this weekend.
Congrats again!

“Okay, now I only need to figure out how to transfer pictures from my cellphone to the computer…”
I made my BFF take ‘em ’cause she has a fancy-dancy smart phone and I wasn’t sure a) how to get them off my phone and b) if they’d turn out ’cause my phone was the freebie with our plan. :)
by Lorelie February 22nd, 2008 at 4:56 pmPRETTY!!!!!
by azteclady February 22nd, 2008 at 5:03 pmWent to B&N last Friday.
Saw it.
Squeed over it.
Bought it.
Read it.
Loved it.
Can’t wait for September!
by Tina Burns February 22nd, 2008 at 8:19 pmI hadn’t actually seen pictures of the whole display. I characters look hot!
I think they should all be allowed to make out…
by Anton Strout February 23rd, 2008 at 3:19 pm“Jax is the meat in a man sandwich.”
Angie, if you knew the freaky-deaky searches your comment is bringing to my site…
Hey, Anton, it’s a wicked display, innit? I get chills when I think about them being in so many bookstores. I think people would call Jax a cougar if she made out with Cal. How old’s Simon?
Dewd, this is just all kinds of awesome! And yannow, I think it’s so fabulous to have people go out of their way to send you pictures like this! I suppose in general, I find it nicer to focus on how sweet it is than the relative quality of the flash – cause it’s really about, well, kindness and stuff and not an official photo shoot.
by Lauren Dane February 26th, 2008 at 11:09 amRead Grimspace on Sunday. I loved it. I loved the fast pace and non stop action. The tough, gritty heroine is my kind of gal.
by Phyllis Lamken February 27th, 2008 at 1:51 pmHi Phyllis! I’m so glad you stopped by. And I’m tickled you enjoyed Grimspace. I hope you enjoy Wanderlust as much.
