A Taste for Red is Released!!

I went into the wonderful Inkwood Books in Tampa and it's available there. It's at BookPeople in Austin. It appears to be in stock at most Barnes and Noble. It's available online wherever fine books are sold online. It's on my mom's coffee table. It's in the trunk of my car. It's in libraries in Arizona, Vancouver, Boston, Tallahassee, and on and on and on. It's propping up the wobbly work bench in my brother's garage.

If it's not available on the shelf at your favorite bookseller, just ask. They'll be happy to order it. Seriously...they'll be "very happy." By simply requesting A Taste For Red, you'll be spreading thick spoonfuls of joy! You can't put a price on that (although for business purposes, your local book retailer might.)

I have to thank Clarion Books and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for doing a fantastic job getting A Taste For Red out into the world.

But mostly I have to thank my wonderful friends and family who have supported and encouraged me along the winding path to this happy moment. I thank the folks who've bought the book and the one's who will buy the book and those that will tell their friends about the book and that they must buy the book even if their children have to go without a meal to offset the cost of the book. I know...it's cruel, but really, what's one meal? Or two? A Taste For Red is distracting and oh so nutritious--they won't even notice.

Yeay, congratulations! Personally, I think Theo and Svetlana should have a play date. Okay, okay, maybe they're a little old for that, but still...it would be interesting to put them both in a room and see what happened. :-)

Congratulations!!! That's awesome!

I hope there will be more Svetlana stories in the future...*wink wink nudge nudge* :)

Hey Robin, I think Svetlana and Theodosia would be fast friends! All we need is a handy-dandy time portal plot device and we're set...the hard part would be deciding if Theo comes to Sunny Hill or Svetlana goes to London...hmmm...if Svetlana goes back, she could meet Ms. Bones as a young lady! You've got me thinking...

Congratulations! I was just at your site and saw the tagline: "What Happens When Your Sixth-Grade Science Teacher Might Also Be Your Immortal Enemy?" I loved that - it made me very curious so then of course I had to click over and read the description of the book. It sounds like a great read!
