Melbourne City 6pm September 3rd

  [Posted 02-Sep-2010]

Dymocks in Melbourne City have arranged for me to give a little talk in the cafe during my book signing there tomorrow evening.

I'll be at the store, signing and talking from 6pm.  It's at 234 Collins St, in the centre of the city.

If you're coming along, please email the store at levents@dymocks.com.au and let them know, they'd like an idea of numbers!

Cannot wait!

Worldcon! Hardcovers!

  [Posted 28-Aug-2010]

I will be at Worldcon (the world science fiction convention) next weekend, from September 3-6.  If you see me, say hello!

I'll be at Dymocks in Melbourne 6pm on Friday 3rd September.  It's the one in the centre of the city, at 234 Collins St, between Elizabeth and Swanston Sts.  Bring as many copies as you'd like for me to sign, I don't place any limit on signing numbers. 

That's only a week away, and probably the only chance you'll get to have your books signed in Melbourne before the next one comes out!

Casey, Heather, and Adam please email me about your limited edition hardcovers.

Now, about these hardcovers...

Voyager are printing five limited edition hardcover versions of the first novels by their greatest authors - George R R Martin, Robin Hobb, Raymond Feist, Sara Douglass... and me.  I'm profoundly honoured to be in such distinguished company.

More detail on the other hardbacks is available at the Voyager blog here .  The complete set is extremely impressive!

They're only printing a thousand of these.

Hardcover

They're gorgeous.  They have a purple cover and a purple ribbon book mark.

Dust Off [main]

 

The recommended retail price is $29.99 (that's ridiculously cheap for what you're getting) and they're only available at Dymocks through a special joint promotion between Harper and Dymocks.

Spread [main]

The ISBN is 9780732292126.  If you want one, run into your nearest Dymocks and order it.

I have 25 of them to sell as a special limited edition - although 15 are gone already so I only have 10 left.  I've signed them in gold, put both my English and Chinese chops on the title page, and numbered each one individually.

Signed Page [main]

I'm selling them for $100 each, with $10 postage.   If you'd like one, you'll need to email me quickly on kylie@kyliechan.com, because I'm expecting them to disappear in a hurry.  I have to admit I wasn't expecting this level of excitement about them.

So: there's only going to be 25 of these numbered and signed out of a limited edition print run of 1000 that are never going to be reprinted in this format (with the silver Voyager logo).  If you want one, I suggest you move quickly!

I'll be at AussieCon4 - the world science fiction convention - which is being held in Melbourne from the 2 to the 6 of September this year.  I'll be wandering around looking like a child in a candy shop, so if you see me say hello!

Melbourne Residents: Signing is finalized!  I'll be at Dymocks Collins St in the City on Friday 3rd September at 6pm.  It's the one at 234 Collins Street (between Elizabeth and Swanston Streets).
