I don't know if I should be posting updates like this here (I'm pretty thrilled and just wanting to tell the world!). If not, let me know and I'll cease and desist...

*****

Before I Wake's CDN pub date is this Saturday, and the first review of it in the mainstream media (distinct from the trade media) ran in today's Georgia Straight (Vancouver).

That review is here: http://www.straight.com/content.cfm?id=19815

The regional media is all coming together as well (ruthlessly cribbed from my blog), in chronological order (between now and Tuesday's launch):

Thursday, August 24 — short interview/profile (with photo and event promo) in Monday Magazine

Friday, August 25, 5 pm — live interview on CBC Radio One's All Points West with Jo-Ann Roberts

Saturday, August 26 — interview/profile and review (with photo) in Vancouver Sun

Sunday, August 27 — interview/profile (with photos) in Victoria Times Colonist

Monday, August 28 — tentative air-date for profile on A Channel News (with Meribeth Burton)

Tuesday, August 29, 9:30 am — live interview with Joe Easingwood, CFAX Radio

Tuesday, August 29, 12.15 pm — live interview with Murray Langdon, CH News at Noon

unknown — interview/profile to appear in North Shore News
unknown — interview/profile to appear on ABEbooks.com
unknown — interview/profile to appear in Victoria News
unknown — review to appear in Monday Magazine

Might be better in the Announcements thread - but I'm sure a mod will move it if they think this is the wrong place.

Congratulations, anyhoo - sounds exciting!

Yeah, I'd agree with Cath - but no worries, the Mods will move it if that's the case.

Meanwhile Congratulations :)
