After four years, 128 queries, a year of editing and polishing, and 19 years after the blackout itself, Blackout Odyssey<\/em> is real. It’s a book, people can buy it, you can hold it in your hands, and put it on your bookshelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I may cry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Come join me tomorrow for the launch party! There’s going to be an interview, I’m going to do a reading, we’re going to swap stories about the blackout (send them to me so I can read them in the stream!!) and drink warm beer in the heatwave, just like that long ago August in 2003.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The launch is officially part of When Words Collide<\/a>!<\/em> and so you need to sign up there for a free registration. Connection info will be posted to the FB event<\/a>, and the stream itself will be on BrainLag’s Twitch channe<\/a>l. All the info is in the FB event, so make sure to click Interested\/Going to get all the updates!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To everyone who pre-ordered: thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To everyone who listened to me gripe about submissions and rejections for two years: THANK YOU SO MUCH <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To everyone who did both<\/em>, well, you’re getting bear hugs in person as soon as it is safe to do so. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED <3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
