Would it even be November if you didn’t get a bonus newsletter?

God’s Junk Drawer is out in paperback! I was at Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore earlier today, signing preorder copies (thanks to all of you who ordered). We were trying not to think about midterms, talking about the upcoming holidays, and then it kind of hit us “Hey, what if I just... kept signing?”

So here’s the deal. From now until November 30th (brushing right up against December) I will sign and personalize copies of God’s Junk Drawer that you order through Mysterious Galaxy. It can be for you, your significant other, your sibling, parent, cousin, that person from the office Secret Santa, whoever you want it personalized to. You order, I scribble, possibly even a doodle here or there. I’m going to be stopping in there once a week or so. Mysterious Galaxy will be shipping (I’m guessing) at least that often. Bam, holiday gift in your hands.

To answer a few possible questions up front...

—I will be using my own judgment on what I’m willing to write in a book. I’m sure the store will be using their own as well. If you want to ask for some edgy inside joke or something overly risque or otherwise questionable that could be read the wrong way on this end... well, it’ll still be personalized.

—The reason this ends December first is the folks at Mysterious Galaxy want to make sure they have time to safely pack your books and get them shipped to you in time for the holidays. So with the way the post office is these days, and the holidays, they’re making sure there’s a lot of leeway.

—Will I be signing other books? If Mysterious Galaxy is okay with it. I don’t see why they wouldn’t be, but you may want to call them directly to check. That’ll also depend very heavily, of course, on what they have in stock and/ or what they can get within the above timeframe. So if you want to ask them... I’d call sooner rather than later.

—Yes, I will still be doing the Black Friday offer later this month. More on that... well, later this month.

And that’s that. Order from Mysterious Galaxy, get signed, personalized books for the holidays. Regular newsletter in two weeks or so.

Bye for now.
