You can’t have that ARC. That ARC belongs to Mogsy. But she’ll let you look at a picture of it and be jealous.

Okay, just under two months left until Dark Ascension is released, and a big milestone has just been reached — the first ARCs (Advance Readers Copies) are being delivered. Huge excitement! Mixed with equally huge trepidation! This is the moment where a book that, until now, has been read by a total of me (+1), my beta readers (+2), my editor (+1), my copyeditor (+1), and Jaime Lee Moyer (+1,000,000,000,00 because she did me a huge solid when I needed reassurance), now gets released a targeted release into the wild. Most of the people who will be reading it in the next two months are bloggers and reviewers, some of whom I have a longrunning relationship with, some of whom I don’t. So this is kind of my first real indication whether people will think that the book is good, or if it sucks.

So — MUCH EXCITEMENT AT THE BRENNAN HOUSEHOLD RIGHT NOW!
