First of all, I got my galley proofs in the mail. Galleys are the first typeset copies of the almost-finished book. It's exciting to see the interiors almost done, and last week I read through the book one more time to catch any last little tweaks. It had been a while since I read it, so I was able to look at it with fresh eyes, and I honestly think it's better than Imaginary Jesus
Also this last week, I got the first ARCs of NLDC! You can see that in the picture on the left there. I've decided as a celebration and countdown for the October release, that I'll do a few contests over the next couple of months to give away an ARC here and there. There's no other way to get this book before October, so if you win a copy you'll be one of the first to read it.

Could I have a copy in which you write a note explaining how I am your favorite member of a band I'm not actually in? Like, maybe, Coldplay or something?
