Interview up!
We're getting closer to the publication date, but I wanted to alert you to this: Fellow indie author K.J. Bryen has interviewed me for her blog, Take The Plunge! Find out about my influences, which fantastical universe I'd live in, and something embarrassing and writing-related I was doing when I was eight! Read the interview here: http://plungingintothenovel.blogspot.com/2014/09/im-pleased-to-welcome-robert-dahlen.html , and follow K.J.'s blog at http://plungingintothenovel.blogspot.com ! Thank you for having me at your blog, K.J.!
And if you read all the way down to question 7, and then the comments, you'll be among the first to see an unofficial announcement...

Sunday update
No big news to share today, but preorders are still open for the first Monkey Queen e-book, Of Introductions And Abductions! Publication date September 19! Scroll down for the preorder links.
If you can't wait, you live in the U.S., you can now order the paperback edition! http://www.amazon.com/dp/
Willow pointed out to me that Amazon.fr is still listing the paperback as out of stock. I apologize if I gave anyone the impression it was available there, but it should be by the end of the week. It is available through some European Amazon stores right now, including Amazon.de and Amazon.co.uk. That Amazon.fr link is http://www.amazon.fr/dp/
There's still time to enter the Goodreads giveaway for the last proof copy of the first book! The contest closes in three days, so sign up now! http://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/107775-of-introductions-and-abductions
And finally, as we approach Halloween, a reminder: It doesn't matter what flavoring you try to add to it...
...Candy corn is still candy corn. And friends don't let friends eat candy corn.

Reminders and updates!
Since we're coming up on two big events, and since both of these have additional developments, I wanted to put up this reminder post. I will be nowhere near either, alas, but I hope you can be!
First, don't forget that Willow, who did the wonderful cover art for the first Monkey Queen novel, Of Introductions And Abductions, will be appearing at the Festival Harajuku in Paris (yes, the one in France) this coming weekend, September 13 and 14! Look for her at the Collectif Pin Up table (#9). She'll have merchandise for sale, including the new fanzine 101010, which will feature the first chapter of her BD (graphic novel) The Journey Of Earth, and other work from the Collectif Pin Up crew! (And if you can't be there, print copies in French, and PDFs in French AND in English, will be available for online ordering soon!) Get more info at http://festivalharajuku.org/ , and as always, see more of Willow's work at http://willow-san.deviantart.com/ . And if you do go, tell her that Michiko and Beth sent you.
And John Kovalic has now raised over $12,000 for his Bike the Barns ride, to help raise funds to help needy families in the Madison, Wisconsin area buy healthy, locally-sourced produce! Not only will he will be riding the entire 60 miles with Cthulhu tentacles strapped to him, a duck on his head, and a Republican Dalek drunk-tweeting his ride (don't you just love oddball stretch goals?), the great swag you can now get includes limericks by famous authors. Including Neil Gaiman and Patrick Rothfuss. And those two will be set to music by the Doubleclicks! Have I mentioned how awesome the Doubleclicks are? Anyway, you can only get these if you back the ride, and more importantly, it's for a great cause. Get more info and back him at http://bikethebarns.dojiggy.com/ng/index.cfm/13552/regPages/pledge/kovalic , read his webcomic Dork Tower at http://www.dorktower.com/ , and follow his Twitter feed at @muskratjohn . And the Republican Dalek's at @RepublicanDalek .
