News about ROSE

[secondlina]

Hey everybody! I have returned from Montréal. The book launch went really well. I went up to Montréal with two of my best friends, Fauve and her fiancé, watching Final Fantasy Dissidia for a while of the way. On Saturday, the book launch took place. Many other of my friends showed up, along with a lot of more awesome people. Four books in the Collection TRIP were being launched and everybody sold a few. After the launch, Fauve, her Fiancé, Me, Link and our friends Melissa and Sofi went to eat some delicious and really desired food. Then we got rained on as we bid Sofi farewell at her bus stop. But that's okay, because vodka warmed our hearts moments after. After a good evening of delicious drinks, foodstuff and a strange question-card game thing, we went to bed. The next morning, I had a book signing at a local book store. We raided the bookstore for books before hand (MWAHAHAHA!) and then went to eat more delicious food in the restaurants of Montréal. Unfortunatly, I ordered Chow Mein and forgot they put shrimp in there (i'm rather allergic to shrimp) but I took Benadryl just in case I ate one by accident and gave all my visible shrimp bits to Fauve. The part part about Benadryl is that it really knocks you out. So I was fast asleep when Fauve and her fiancé left. I woke up a few hours later, a bit out of it and spent the evening with Link. On Monday, we hunted for appartments. We found a few walking in the streets. We are trying to find something in between these four streets: Des Bordeaux, Mont Royal, Ontario and St-Denis. It's a pretty okay spot. Cute houses. And now, I'm back and returned (somewhat angrily) to my work on Tuesday morning to find silly messages from my landlord on my machine when I got home tonight, telling me he lined up appartment visits from 4pm to 9pm Wednesday night and I needed to be out of the appartment... I guess i'll go visit my parents for 5 hours of something...

But whining put aside...

This is the post several of you have been asking me to do!

How would you love to own you're very own super-special copy of ROSE?

You can just post a comment here letting me know that you want one. ROSE is sold 20$ Canadian. It's a 64 page book in black and white. I will sign and mail it for you. If you guys don't mind, I would ask for a 2$ extra, to help pay for all my shipping fees. So basically, the book would be 22$ Canadian. I don't think it's asking for too much! Be generous to the overworked artist! *laughs*

For payment, we can do it thru paypal (using the send money option). My paypal account is under secondlina@hotmail.com. For those of you who don't have a paypal account, you can also do it the old fashion way - sending money in an envelopp. For those, simply ask and I will provide you my address thru an LJ private message. You can also give me the address you want me to send the book too thru a private paypal message.

ROSE will also be available in some stores:

Yay! I'm glad the book launch went well. It sounds like you had a blast.

I'll order a copy of Rose, so I'll use the paypal method. I'm more than happy to support starving artists. ^_~

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I ain't starving... YET.

*notes down - one copy for Johanne!*

[angelchan-2004.livejournal.com]

I'm glad it went well for you!

Umumum, I would love to buy a copy! Would I be able to pay via Paypal? :D

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Of course! My paypal account is at secondlina@hotmail.com... I currently don't have a merchant account (I might get one once I get more stuff!)so you'll have to use the send money option or something... Sorry for the trouble!

Don't forget to give me the address to ship the book too in a private lj message or an email.

[kokumi009.livejournal.com]

congratulations on a successful and fun book launch XD
good idea posting the images, cos now i sooo want to buy it.......ok, scratch that, i will. so yeah, i would like a copy, too!
i don't mind the extra $2 for shipping. makes sense actually. :)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

YAAAY! Thanks for buying it!

That reminds me, did you ever get the payment for the stickers? (I had trouble with the paypal!) if you didn't, I will deduct the sticker's price from the book price to make sure you get your due too!

We artist gotta stick together, am I right?

[the-flowergirl.livejournal.com]

It would be pretty fun to have one, but I haven't used my paypal in forever. Is there any other way that I can send you the money?

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

You can just do the good old "shove money in an envelop with a little love note and send it to the artist" method! It's more heartwarming anyways XD

[dqbunny.livejournal.com]

*singsong* You've got money!!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Holy crap! I do!

[kitesareevil.livejournal.com]

I get paid on Friday! With a bonus! I'm going to buy a few copies - because I know people who will LOVE this for Christmas! One of my friends will, she appreciates things like this, and I talk about you a lot. I know I've got others, so Hmm....yay! Helping people live!

now to just get my name out there somehow as an editor some day....siiiiiiiigh

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Let me know how many you need! I most likely need to go pick them up before friday... :D

Yay, ROSE makes a nice x-mas present if you're a fan of the style. The book is really white and pretty.

You want to be an editor? I figured you would prefer being a writer?

[zorbgoink.livejournal.com]

Excited! I think I will have to mail you money, since I am currently poaching random internet connections.

I'll PM you :)

excited!!!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

YAY!

[gigabahamut666.livejournal.com]

Money sent! ^_^

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Got it! Many thanks!

[spankingfemme.livejournal.com]

Oh sweet! So glad the book launch went well! XD I do want a copy of your book as well! I'll have to save up and buy it after DragonCon ;)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Hopefully you won't have to wait too long to save up! :D I think you'll really like the book. There's no spanking, but there is rose vines being pulled out of hearts!

[neshel.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I want one! I'll pay you through paypal, but it'll have to wait until after I move, I think. If you send it here it'll probably arrive after I leave...

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Probably. I can wait until you move and send it to your new address if you want!

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

Totally want one. Do you accept a cheque through the mail? I can courier it so that it'll be sure to get there.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Cheque by mail is awesome. I will send you my address thru PM. Please reply with yours.

[izo-chan.livejournal.com]

Yippee! :3 I'm so happy to hear the launch went well -- I knew you could do it. I would like a copy of Rose too, but I'll need to go the snail-mail route because I am Paypal-less. D:

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

No problem! I accept Snail mail route. Don't forget to send me your address for shipping in a Private Lj message and i'll reply with my address to direct the snail mail to.

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

I definitely want a copy and I do have a Paypal account (which I need to double check to make sure it's attached to the correct account), but I've been having MAJOR money isses right now, so it might have to wait a bit, if that's ok...

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I can keep a copy around for you XD

[annekay.livejournal.com]

OOO, I want one. I would have loved to go to your launch and get one personally.... stupid no job having and being in Hamilton..

Anyway, I'll transfer you the monies via paypal and send you an email with my address :)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Still no job :( that's suck!

*writes down - Book for Anneka*

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

Benadryl puts me out like a light -- but it's nice to have around, just in case.

Congrats on your book launch! Wish I could have been there, but my finances permit me from buying anything at the moment, including food. (There's still plenty in the cupboards!)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

At least i'm not the only one.

Awwww. Hope maney stuff clears up for you!

[brendala.livejournal.com]

Is it possible to send a check or money order for the book (I'm a little paranoid about sending cash in the mail)? I don't have paypal. And I've never ordered stuff from another country, so I don't know if American checks and/or money orders can be cashed in Canada.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure checks can work. Try the check and at worse, if it doesn't work, i'll rip it apart so it doesn't cause problems and we'll think of something else. I'm sure I can get american checks traded it. I just need to go to the foreign exchange office. No biggy.
