Click on picture to see larger versionJunkies! Check out the goods - the final INFECTED hardcover just came in. The orange INFECTED is all raised and glossy, totally fly. Yes, I said "fly," understand my 80s upbringing and love me for me. This cover was designed by Kyle "The Krusher" Kolker over at Crown Publishing, with guidance by my kick-ass editor Julian "The Shiv" Pavia.
Does this make it more "real," as one Junkie said? A little, but not that much -- all of my attention is focused on April 1. I'm doing everything possible (and adding some impossible) to make this be-yotch soar on that day. As Conan once said, what is most important in life is: "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women"
The "enemy" is big publishing (Crown excluded, of course!). Their "woman" is the Gray Lady, the New York Times Bestseller list.
Bring it on, April 1, bring it on ...
Digg update
We are at 12 diggs so far. Now I know there are more people on this site than that. This is free advertising for our great master! Step up people. Digg is one of theose things that if we get enough diggs on the article it will hit criticle mass and then people that don't know about it will start to see it and share it. I'm not sure what the magic number is but lets find out!

Hopefully I hit max exposure BEFORE annoyance kicks in
seems timing is about right
I think you've timed it just right...
The podosphere is very anal retentive in some ways, but given the nature of serialized fiction has a good handle on the "waiting game"... We'll support you through to the very bitter bitter end... Be assured of that...
SynapticJam on Toast - hhhmmm... tastes like chicken (aka PUVJK)
The real trick is the delay factor ...
Exellent stategery.....
The publishing industry has misunderestimated you! In this way you are able to create a steady stream on interest with a gradual increase in exposure all the way up to the release date. All without drastically increasing the amount of advertising you do... Like ultra cool time release capsules of marketing mojo. My hats off to you... Now I 'know' I have to make it down to Houston...

It looks so good
Read it out loud ...
Once the plane is in the air, I suggest you strip down to a dashiki, get into the Sumo stance, start reading out loud at the top of your voice, holding the book with one hand while slapping yourself in the face with the other.
That's how we used to do storytime back home ...
LMAO!!!!
I'm all for the slapping!

Vase Troll
Wow, I couldn't be more proud for having such a simple troll turn out so well. :) I should have known that the junkies wouldn't disappoint me. "treed": you even seemed a bit upset by the suggestion that our dark overlord might like to tear open a swisher every now and then. *gasp* That being said, yeah...it's obviously a freakin' vase.
Sigs, I love it...great book, great looking cover. Congrats on the PW review. I'll keep pimping you whenever I get the chance. (Oh...and I didn't mean it about your grandma, I swear!)
The Future Dark Overlord™ is crying in a corner ...
Come on, people, I eat like 20 baby bunnies for breakfast, crosses have no effect on me, and I think I might be bulletproof but just not sure how to set up the control group for that experiment. Being teased about a vase-bong is not going to damage the World's Largest Ego.
i was not going to say anything
until sigler (DAMN HIM) stated several times it was a vase and people would not let it go, so i put my two cents worth in (several times) and was gonna leave it be. in the past, i have been the object of teasing and jokes even when it was clear it went on too long & no longer funny and that is how it felt to me. i am a bit thin skinned in that area and overly sensitive for others, sorry if i over stepped my bounds. but hey, it's me.
Hey, we understand...
You're just you... that's who you are, and the way you're going to be... it's not your fault really...... It's just your nature... so we accept you.... for who you are.... really.....Cause you're good enough..... You're smart enought...... And gosh darnnit, people like you........(daily affirmations with Treed)

i will tell you the "JACKASS" story (yes, i was called the jackass by wife, suprise, suprise)
Sounds like a plan....
And I'll tell you the Ferret story... Has to do with Rocky Horror, Girl scout cookies, Lots and LOTS of alcohol, and a pesky ferret...

Knew a guy who tried to make it with a cat... 2 weeks before graduation, there was alcohol involved (big surprise), and duct tape... he didn't graduate with the class..... Lost touch with him a long time ago... wonder why?

Oh man you did it now!
You mentioned Duct-Tape, our dark lord hates that stuff, I think it may be his only weakness, but keep that under your hat.
Tsolo888 - Out "Don't be surprised one day if the person you pissed off on the net shows up on your front door step"
Did someone say duct tape?
Duct-Tape huh?
There will be no duct tape at the Houston stop.
I promise

um.........
i thought i heard you and mumo00 mumbling something about "kidnaping" "duct tape" "after the pub crawl" and i am not sure but i thought i heard the name scott mentioned
I would like to launch a preemptive apology for that last post.

Honest Question
When I go down to Borders or Barnes and Noble on April 1st. Will it be there Sigler? Will they have it in stock?I guess I may have to call them and double check.
Yes, the world will have it in stock
And if it isn't?
Do we start the burning, pillaging, and raping right away? Or do we give them a chance to pull their heads out and provide it for the masses?
