"St Mallory's Forever!" Blog Tour

Release date is imminent, repeat, release date is imminent!

And by "imminent" I mean within the week. Almost certainly. Unless something disastrous happens and we're all abducted by aliens. 

In fact, I'm thinking sometime tomorrow. Rest assured you'll know the minute it is!

It's been a busy few weeks' run-up to the Big Day, though, not in the least because Miriam and I have been skittering all over the blogosphere doing what I like to think of as a sort of Mini Blog Tour.

Curious? I hope so.

Because, if you'd care to know, there's a pretty wicked Interview With the Notebook Sisters, which is full of all sorts of tasty tidbits that I didn't tell you about in the process.

Not long after, I wrote a Post for Pure Grace, which is likewise full of wonderful goodies. And there's a puppy in it too!

While not specifically on the tour itself, Saffi's Promo Post is worth a look. Not in the least because you'll get to meet our lovely publishers and experience their awesomeness firsthand!

Random Writing Rants were also very kind to step up, and my equally wonderful co-author Miriam has done a wicked post for them on the how and why St Mall's came to be. She's also much better at explaining things than I am, so you should totally go and check her out.

If I may, I'd like to take a moment to say the WORLD'S MOST ENORMOUS THANK-YOUS to all the blogs who kindly allowed us a slot in their timetables. It means the absolute world to us, especially as we've both been looking forward to this moment since we first picked up our pens at the year dot.

Of course, if anyone else would like to give us a spot, there's no reason this list shouldn't get a little longer yet!

In the meantime, I will leave another HUGE BARRAGE OF THANK-YOUS to the readers of this blog. You guys have stuck with me through just about every piece of nonsense I can throw at you, and the lovely comments you leave me really do make my day.

The moment St Mallory's Forever! is live and fit for purchase, you lot will be the first to know.

The Fires of Mount Mallory's

For those still concerned, I can confirm that the move to Wordpress will not be happening any time soon.

The reason, for once, is not my own crippling laziness. It is, in fact, the work of the school internet and its dislike of certain blogging platforms. To illustrate: in order to check up on the posts of those I do follow on Wordpress, I have to first go to a Blogger blog, bypass the filter for Blogger, then go to another blog to bypass for the forums and blogs category, and then I follow the link to the Wordpress blog . . . and have to bypass another block in order to view it in its correct format, because otherwise everything from titles to sidebar graphics is put through the mother of all blenders.

So, no fear, I'll not be departing from the shores of Blogger any time soon. Come again in the summer, when I will probably be found wandering the skyline in fits of existential wonder, and I may give it a think again.

In other news, St Mallory's Forever! continues to make progress! And that's where you come in.

Would any of you be willing to spare a guest post for Miriam and I to pop by? We're not just there for promotional purposes, of course - we're pretty flexible with what we'll write about, either collaboratively or on our own - but with publication drawing ever nearer, we'd love a chance to reach out and say to people "Look, we wrote a book!"

I like to think we might even be vaguely inspiring, and most probably rather entertaining. So, do let me know if you'd be willing to open up a slot for us to come and spread our ecstatic fits of book-fuelled bouncing!

One last thing before I go - I really, really, want to show you this. It's the pinnacle of my Maths-based achievement. It's also an exhibit of some of my finest scary laughter.
