There should be a bouquet of balloons, ribboned tails flying. There should be wild horses and twirling dancers and firecrackers and someone who can hold a tune singing songs. A blue blimp soaring through the clouds with the name of the book and June 14 stamped on its sides. Water rides. Chalk murals filling the sidewalks. Enough strawberry-banana pancakes to feed the world.
There should at least be something exciting I can do here, because we are now ONE WEEK AWAY from Imaginary Girls.

(note to self: say something witty, or wise, or so cryptic it sounds philosophical here)

(at least give away free stuff!)

I’m afraid I’m too tired / busy / scattered / distracted / crazed with this book deadline I need to finish writing my book / nervous / anxious / shy / loopy / outrageously and deliriously excited to the point that I cannot function (circle one) to organize anything special for this one-week-to-pub-day moment.The best I can do is write this blog post. But you can pretend if you want to. Here…
WATCH the book trailer: It has hypnotic music.
READ the first four chapters online: They are free.
VISIT the book’s official website: It is gorgeous.
And think of me fondly as I survive the next week of anticipation, including being patient with me for posting all these links and talking about my book so much, and I hope you’ll consider going out and buying Imaginary Girls on Tuesday, June 14.
Thank you for reading this post even though I don’t have a picture of balloons in it.
I might do a giveaway of some signed books next week. Here on this blog. Or on my Facebook page. Or on Twitter. Or entirely confined inside my own imagination, in which case I guess I’d win. We shall see.
There are totally balloons in this post, if only in my head. Loves you!!!!
Me too!
Fires confetti cannon!
One week to go!
Thanks for the fun post Nova.
Love & Best Wishes,
Rob
