If you're planning on buying a copy of Fire Along the Sky, please be sure to tell your local bookseller. Bookstores only pre-order as many books as they think they might really be able to sell, and strong advance numbers for Fire Along the Sky would be a big boost, especially if y'all want more of the series. All you have to do is go in and say,
Excuse me, when is Fire Along the Sky by Sara Donati coming out? And will you have it in stock?
You can do this over the phone, too. Or by email. Also a good thing to ask your local library if/when they are going to order it.

This all assumes, of course, that you actually are going to read it. Note: If I committed the sin of emoticons, I'd use one here.

Ordered a copy today. You'll be pleased to hear my local suburban book store has 140 copies coming in, a figure that blew me away! They must be expecting big sales which is wonderful news. Good luck!

Thanks to all of you and yes, Fiona, that's quite a big number. Excellent news. You're in NZ?

That's right, I'm in NZ. From the map you had for the ARC, it seems NZ is bursting at the seams with fans of yours to the extent the country was no longer visible for all the 'dots'. Seems only fair then that the winner turned out to be a fellow kiwi! Don't suppose you're ever thinking of doing a promotional tour 'down under'?
