So The Spider, the 10th book in my Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series, will be released on Tuesday, Dec. 24.

I know that’s a really busy shopping day, and folks will be running around doing last-minute holiday stuff, so I wanted to talk about how to get the book on release day.

First of all, here are some of the places that you can pre-order the book:

Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Books-A-Million

iTunes / Audible

The book should also be available through Kobo, although I don’t see it up for pre-order there yet.

E-books: If you pre-order the book and have an e-reader (or read on your computer/phone/tablet), then The Spider should download to your device at midnight on Dec. 24, and then you can read at your leisure.

Audio books: If you prefer the audio book, you can pre-order that from Audible, and it should also download to your device on Dec. 24.

Print books: However, if you want a print copy of the book, I encourage you to please visit your local bookstore before Dec. 24 and ask if they will be getting any copies of the book and if they will reserve one for you.

I have no way of knowing which stores carry my books and how many copies they might have on hand. So if you ask before the release date, that might save you some time going from store to store on Dec. 24.

You can visit Indie Bound to find a local independent bookstore near you, or you can check out the store finders at Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million.

Print book deal: Also, I wanted to mention that Amazon is still offering print copies of The Spider for about $4.79. That’s a pretty good price on the print book. Of course, you probably won’t get it on Dec. 24, but if you prefer the print book and want to save a few bucks, you might consider ordering it through them.

Anyway, hope that helps. Happy reading, everyone!
