We're only days away from the release of Incendiary. The paperback edition is set to release Nov. 30th and the eBook edition will release Dec. 7th! I'm listening to BREATHING UNDERWATER by METRIC and wondering, "Is this my life?" The printed proof of Incendiary arrived at my office in the afternoon on Thursday (the 9th). I hadn't even realized it had shipped. When I figured out what it was that I was holding in my hand, it was a heart-pounding moment for me. It's strange knowing that it's the only copy--that it belongs to me. As I thumbed through it, my hands were shaky from a mixture of fear and excitement. It's heavy. It's a serious book.
I know I said I was going to submit my changes right away, but I'm more of a perfectionist than I thought. I had to look it over again. I took the weekend to do that and then I turned in my changes on Monday (yesterday). Here's what will happen now: they have 5-7 business days to make the changes--the latest date for that is around the 21st. Then they'll ship me the new proof. Approximately 2-3 days to ship so the latest date is the 24th (which is a Saturday.). I'll approve the proof immediately (barring any huge debacles). I'll have to wait until Monday for them to be in the office to acknowledge the approval. From there, they'll build the site on Amazon. So it could show up on Amazon anytime between Nov. 28-30!! (or sooner!!) You know I'll post that it's there the second it shows up! I'll be the town crier! After the print book posts, I'll initiate the eBook conversion. We're looking at Dec. 7th right now, but I'll know more soon. I can't wait for you to read this book. I really want to share it with you. I'm leaving in the morning to go to the book signing in Baton Rouge! I'm looking forward to it. I hope I see you there!

GAH!!!!!!!! OMFG. I feel like I have been waiting for this book to come out for FOREVER! Amy, why must you be so incredibly talented? This world you have created... It's so... enthralling. And I don't even know if that is the right word to even describe this amazingly magical world that you just have EVERYONE begging for more of. I'm honestly trying to get everyone I know to read this astounding series. It deserves so much more recognition then it is already getting and I hope someday, with all of our help, It will get there. Needless to say this release date is right on seeing as I will have already been done with EVERYTHING important and I will have endless amount of time to read and RE READ this book, which i am 100% sure will be more than incredible. I can't wait (:

I'm currently re-re-re-re-reading the series again. You entice me with every chapter, I seriously just can't put your books down, i'm always learning something new that I missed. I should be done with the whole series (again) when the ebook comes out. Until then I can not wait :) You are a very talented writer, Amy! Please keep Evie, Reed, Russell, Buns and Brownie going! They are so much better than the Twilight characters & I WAS a big fan. LOL

I have the publisher convert the PFD to a mobi file and put it on KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) for me. That's why the ebook comes out after the print. I did this with the previous Premonition Series books, so I feel like I have to do it for the rest of them so that they (ebooks) look the same/uniform. I will probably convert my own files in the future with other series that I publish because it takes too long.

I can hardly believe it!!!! I think I am in denial. I have another Brenus song. Haven't looked at the playlist to see if its there. Enrique Iglesias, I finally found you. I love it for Brenus. :) Even though I am 100% team Reed, bad guys need love too!! Anyway, I am so glad we are finally so close to knowing. I gotta say, you are very good at keeping secrets. :/

Victoria, I don't have any songs by Enrique Iglesias on the playlist as yet. What song did you have in mind? Brennus does gets under the skin a little bit, even when you're 100% Team Reed. :D And, yes, the secrets are killing me!

"I finally found you" is the song and it fits Brennus to a T. :) Not long now. Eeeeeeeeee! I re read way back in July and I feel like its been FOREVER! I don't have any of the paperbacks bit I just may buy this one first, cause I don't know if I can wait!!! You rock, just sayin'. :)

I'm pretty sure is gonna be awesome or even better that the other ones. And I'm also really happy theres gonna be Iniquity but at the same time i'm sad cuz I'm gonna have to wait 8 or 9 months for that one to came out, I know the wait is gonna be worth it, but is gonna be soooooo hard. ;D Thankyou Amy for making this series so AMAZING!!!

Oh thank you, thank you, thank you! A FIFTH BOOK?!!?!?! Happiness doesn't even begin to describe! I may just have to buy the "real" book on November 30th because I don't think I can make it till the ebook...then of course I'll have to have the ebook to go with the rest of my collection...which then leads itself to having to have the other ones in book format too. I think I can justify that...right?!!?

I am so glad I found your blog so that I could get information on Incendiary! I finished book 3 two nights ago and went to purchase book 4 from Amazon on my kindle and it (obviously) wasn't found...I anxiously await the release of book 4. I just want to say thank you for such a refreshing, well written book with such well-developed characters. So glad I stumbled upon the series and am grateful you are still writing :-)

I think imma go with Brennus all the way. Reeds kinda like a stick in the mud lol. Hes not really funny and kinda boring for me. Xavier is super cool to. Its like Brennus is super tough, top of the chain. When Russel and Brownie were kidnap in the church Brennus just walked in there and told the captor whats up. With no problems. But with Reed hes freaking out because he couldn't take him and how hard it would be. Also he can't even keep Brennus away to not get to Evie. Dude is lame in my opinion. LOL
