Many of you have asked me, "Diesel, since I missed out on my chance to win a copy of Mercury Falls, is there a way for me to get a signed copy?"
Others have asked, "Diesel, I live in a faraway land, such as South Africa or Australia. Will I be able to get a copy of Mercury Falls?"
Still others have asked, "Diesel, the first part of that last quote was actually a statement, not a question. Is it really appropriate to preface it with 'Others have asked'? Is this the sort of writing we can expect in your novel?"
Finally, still still others have asked, "Diesel, can I get multiple copies so I can give them out to my friends and family -- without having to pay outrageous shipping costs?"
I'm happy to announce that the answers to all of these questions is YES!
From now through September 30, 2009, you can pre-order signed copies of Mercury Falls. Be the first of your peer group to have a copy -- and the only one to have a copy that appears to have been scribbled in by a fourth grade boy with severe palsy! (Seriously, my handwriting is terrible. If you'd rather I not write in your book, please specify that in the inscription instructions. I'll totally understand.) The cost is only $12.00 U.S. plus shipping. Your book will be shipped by 10/1/2009.
I particularly recommend pre-ordering the book if you are outside the U.S./Canada. Initially Mercury Falls will only be available on Amazon.com. I don't know when it will be available overseas. Additionally, you can save a lot on shipping if you pre-order multiple copies because you will only be charged for shipping on the first copy. So if you're in, say, Hyderabad, and you want 100 copies for your friends and co-workers, you are definitely going to want to pre-order them. The books, that is; not your friends. I understand you can pre-order friends from some of the former Soviet satellite states, but you're kind of on your own there.

And hey, if a gajillion of you pre-order it, I might just be so happy that I'll have to do an honest-to-goodness post that has nothing to do with my novel! Stay tuned!
