Music Monday

This week is for Linger.

Goodbye my almost lover
Goodbye my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?


So long my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

Linger is #1 on NYT Best Seller List!!

That is so AWSOME!
Congrats to Maggie for her amazing success!

The phone rings.


I think what dumb idiot left their phone on the plane when they told us to turn it off?


It was my dad's phone.


It was Editor MixTape.


He says, "Are you ready to make a lot of noise?"


Me, looking at the stewardess who is looking at me on the phone, conspicuous as the single rule breaker among her charges: "Um . . . "


David: "Linger debuted at number one on the NYT Bestseller List."


The Stewardess then got on the intercom and, all the while staring at me, announced that all electronic devices needed to be powered down or we'd all die. (I paraphrase).

Aren't these covers lovely? I seem to like the German cover more.

New Linger Song

None other than one of the famous Beatles song 'Girl'

But the Jim Sturgess's version!

Lovely right!

New Linger Quote!

“Long after the new wolf had gone, the image of him haunted me: the punture wounds at the bends of his elbows, the arrogance of his eyes, the familiarity of his face.”

I'm guessing it's Isabel!

New Linger Songs!

So, unbelievably, it is now 8-some weeks away from Linger's release day (and I'm revoltingly happy to report that I will indeed be doing a launch day event in Williamsburg, VA, details to follow). And it's a Friday. That means it's time for some more music from the playlists. It also means it is time for my washing machine to die, apparently. It made that sound from Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail ("the castle of eeuuuuuugggghhh") and just stopped. I am bitter.


Anyway, two songs this week as well. One that represents Mercy Falls to me, and another which will forever be associated with a certain section of the book (thanks to Editor MixTape for that one.) These are also two songs that I didn't like right away -- it was only after several listens that I really liked them. It'll be interesting to see the verdict from you guys.

Rock of Ages by Gillian Welch

Linger Text Green

I know I've been wondering if Linger's text color was going to be green, like Shiver was.
And Maggie answered this question! Yay! Plus a picture!

"So today while I was trying very hard to concentrate on Secret Project, UPS delivered a very early, finished copy of LINGER. There are not really many of these in existence, and I'm pretty sure this one was stolen off Editor MixTape's desk while he was in New Zealand (which is only fair. He is in New Zealand. He doesn't need this. I do.)


Anyway, it is pretty stinkin' gorgeous. And, to answer the question I have gotten hundreds of times, yes. The ink is green.


So I whipped out my camera to do some selective focus evidential photography. And here it is. Ooooooh the pretty? Yes. The pretty. "

More Linger Songs!

I absolutely love the first song. Source, Maggie's LiveJournal.

Final ARC Linger Contest

Maggie is having her final Linger ARC Contest. Here are the details:

1. It is open internationally. Nothing butters my bread on the wrong side like people saying “YOU NEVER MAKE YOUR CONTESTS INTERNATIONAL” after I post yet another contest that is, as always, international. So I am telling you now. It’s open internationally. That means inter. nationally. I love people in other countries. You’re like family. Family with funny accents, cool music, and probably better food. Yes?


2. Kindly do not adopt thousands of internet personas for purposes of entering this contest. I don’t care if your account is newish, etc., and I’m not the Ethics Police, but just . . . be fair and, as Jiminy Cricket says, always let your conscience be your guide.


3. Remember, the idea behind this is to get the LINGER trailer out there into the world. So before you send me an email that says “does this count as an entry?” ask yourself “does it get the LINGER trailer out in the world where actual people can see it?” and the answer is probably yes. If you are posting it on a Strawberry Shortcake listserv that has been defunct for four years, the answer is probably no. Again. Jiminy Cricket.

The Making of Linger Trailer

I know many are interested in the making of the Linger Trailer. Maggie has posted four(4) post on her LiveJounral about everything she did to complete the trailer. And it's divided into three sections.

First of all, I should say, I have always loved animation, and stop-motion animation in particular (anyone else remember those California Raisins shows from the 80s? I was all over those). So when I say that this trailer took over 60 hours of work, know that I did it because I love tinkering with this stuff, not because all authors really ought to be spending a lot of time with exact-o knives and rubber cement in order to be successful.

Amazing!

As I mentioned before. Maggie is working hard in making the Linger trailer, as she did for Shiver. And she has given us a treat for us fans!






Exciting!

Linger Trailer News & Final Giveaway!

Today, Maggie announced that we would be able to see the final Linger trailer. As we know or didn't, Maggie created the official trailer for Shiver.

I’ll be going into the studio on Thursday to record the music for the LINGER trailer. And I’m working on the trailer as we speak. So that means you guys may see a trailer on Friday or Monday (I know you’re just dying to see it. Don’t tell me if you’re not.) There will also be the Final LINGER contest associated with said trailer. More details to come on that.

Don't forget to go to her LiveJournal for her final Linger giveaway!
