Cupcakes? Oh, no, I could not eat a bunch of cupcakes to celebrate the publication of THE GOOD DAUGHTER.
Just like I totally did not eat any cupcakes when the book came out in Nederland, Belgium, Great Britain, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.
(Unrelated: I need to get on the treadmill for the next 2,000 years)*

WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL?! WHY ARE YOU BEGGING ME TO GET THE GOOD DAUGHTER RIGHT NOW? MAYBE I WANT TO WAIT UNTIL LABOR DAY WHEN I NEED A BEACH READ TO WHILE AWAY THE LONG WEEKEND.
******************************************************************************************
I am glad you asked, my dear friend. The first week is the most important week of a book’s life because that week directly influences bestseller lists, and so far, THE GOOD DAUGHTER has been:
#1 in Holland
#1 in Belgium
#1 in Ireland
#2 in the UK
And these wonderful rankings, my readers, are thanks to the power of YOU!
Seriously--thank you to all of my readers in all of these awesome countries for coming to see me sign and talk about THE GOOD DAUGHTER, and ordering THE GOOD DAUGHTER, and reading THE GOOD DAUGHTER, and posting pictures and reviews of THE GOOD DAUGHTER on your Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter accounts.
And also, thanks for being awesome in general. I’ve tried to like and share your posts but if I missed some, well, what can I say, looking for cute cat photos and videos takes up a LOT of my time.
******************************************************************************************
YES, WE HAVE BEEN BOMBARDED WITH ALL OF YOUR CAT POSTINGS. WHAT ABOUT TELLING US WHAT YOU’VE BEEN UP TO???
******************************************************************************************
I am glad you asked!
I’ve been traveling all around the world (or at least one particular part of the world) meeting my readers. So far this year I’ve traveled to (from left to right): NEDERLANDS, GERMANY, ITALY, AND ENGLAND |
|
| And I even did a THEN/NOW photo of myself near a billboard in the tube station: |
|
What’s that you say? Who is that youthful time traveler? It’s me!
I also did a lot ofFacebook Live posts, including my chat with Lee Child, so if there is an event you maybe wanted to see but couldn’t make it to, check here. I didn’t even edit out Mark Billingham despite the fact that he wore denim shorts and a porkpie hat.
******************************************************************************************
WHAT ABOUT THE UNITED STATES??? DON’T YOU LOVE AMERICA (AND CANADA, WHICH IS ALSO TECHNICALLY ON THE CONTINENT CALLED AMERICA)???
******************************************************************************************
I ADORE America! It’s where I’m from! And I am heading out on my US Book Tour starting this week. I hope that you can come see me! Please note that some of the events are ticketed and we’ve even had to move the venue in Indiana to a larger facility because READERS IN INDIANA ARE AWESOME!
And also, I just might have a limited number of way-cool Popsockets to give away at each event, so try to get there early!
******************************************************************************************
YEAH OKAY I’VE READ THIS FAR AND LOOKED AT YOUR PICTURES AND THOUGHT ABOUT CUPCAKES, BUT DIDN’T YOU SAY SOMETHING ABOUT A CONTEST???
****************************************************************************************** I did, indeed! Thank you for reminding me! It’s the: #IGotSlaughtered CONTEST |
|
How would you like to have a character named after you in my next book?
Just imagine all of the terrible things I could do to you–fictionally–and think about walking around showing your friends like “Hey, that’s me with the clarinet wrapped around my intestines!” **
THIS CAN HAPPEN TO YOU!!!
All you need to do is tag a photo of yourself reading THE GOOD DAUGHTER or LAST BREATH on Instagram or Facebook with the hashtag #IgotSlaughtered
Anyone who posts a photo using this hashtag between August 8th-25th will be entered to win. That’s it. One winner will be selected at random. This contest is open to all the readers of the world because y’all complain if I don’t do it that way.
******************************************************************************************
OKAY, I WILL GET THE GOOD DAUGHTER AND POST A PHOTO AND ALSO MAYBE EAT SOME CUPCAKES BECAUSE YOU HAVE MADE ME VERY HUNGRY AND OH, I MIGHT EVEN GET A KITTEN BECAUSE I KNOW A PHOTO OF THE GOOD DAUGHTER, A KITTEN AND A CUPCAKE WILL PROBABLY WIN THE CONTEST JUST BASED ON HISTORY AND KNOWING HOW YOUR BRAIN WORKS!
******************************************************************************************
Wow, Reader. You really get me.
That’s all for now—remember to get your copy of THE GOOD DAUGHTER or come see me on my tour or do both because that would be the generous thing to do.
* The calories don’t count if you eat them on publication day.
**Or you can give me the name of your best frenemy and you can say “Hey look, that’s you
with the clarinet wrapped around your intestines!” HAHA! No, seriously, let’s do that.
