Codex Born Release Day! (And Giveaway!)

[jimhines]

Today is the official release date for the U.S. mass market paperback of Codex Born, book two in the Magic ex Libris series. Which is a bit strange to me. The third book is done and turned in, and I’m finishing up another (unrelated) book, so it’s weird thinking of Codex as the “new” book.

But new it is, and as such, I MUST BLOG ABOUT IT AND ADD LOTS OF LINKS AND SUBTLY (AND NOT-SO-SUBTLY) ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO RUN OUT AND BUY ALL THE BOOKS!

What can I say. After nine books, I’m taking the direct route. Here, have a guilt tripping kitten!

THIS KITTEN IS SAD BECAUSE YOU HAVEN’T BOUGHT THE BOOK YET! Either that, or it’s thinking about that one scene from Guardians of the Galaxy.

Okay, seriously, it’s new book day, so if you haven’t guessed, I’m doing the traditional author freak-out. I’m excited to see this one out in paperback, both because I like my books being available in the cheaper mass market format, and because this means the ebook price is dropping as well.

Thanks for putting up with me through another release day. Now let’s give away a book! To enter, just leave a comment with a made-up book blurb by a fictional character. For example:

“I find your lack of Goblin Quest disturbing.”
-Darth Vader

“I am Groot.”
-Groot

I’ll send an autographed copy of one of my mass-market titles (your choice) to a random winner. There are no regional restrictions on who can enter, but only one entry per person, please.

Have fun, and in all seriousness, thank you so much for all of your support and encouragement over the years.

Please tell the sad kitten I am sorry for forgetting to preorder the book, but I have remedied that now. :)

Sad Kitten is mollified, and thanks you.

Also, happy Book Day! May it sell long and well.

Happy Book Day! I knew I'd enjoyed the last one I'd read in this series, which, according to Amazon, was apparently this one (I'm bad with faces, what can I say?) I hope many more people have the chance to discover it now it is out in paperback!

I was reading this and enjoying it very much when I got hit in the face with a pet peeve.

"Nonplussed" does NOT mean "nonchalant" or "unfazed". It means "completely boggled" or "utterly confused".

So when your character is nonplussed because "they've seen it all before", you're using it wrong.

Thank you for your time.
