I'm Christopher Husberg, fantasy author (of the Chaos Queen Series), desultory blogger, and zombie apologist. Also Buffy fanatic. Ballroom danced a bit. Etc.
I hope, if you're in the USA, you're having a delightful Independence Day. (And if you're not, you know what, you go ahead and have a delightful day anyway!)
In other news, we had a pretty phenomenal launch party for Dark Immolation a few weeks back. For the full video of the reading and Q&A sections of the event, check out the live Facebook video below!
And for those of you who don't want to spend an hour, you can just check out these awesome photos from the event, courtesy of my awesome sister :-).
I read publicly from Dark Immolation for the first time.
The good word was received well.
Indoor lamp posts are a thing, apparently.
We had a pretty awesome turnout.
Folks got their books signed.
More folks got their books signed.
One particularly eccentric fan got his chest (hair) signed.
It still feels surreal to me, but everyone keeps insisting that my debut novel, Duskfall, will officially be released upon the world next week. We'll be having a book launch party at Weller Book Works (the bookstore at Trolley Square) in Salt Lake City, UT next Tuesday 21 June from 6:30 - 8:30 PM.
If you're in Utah, you should consider stopping by to celebrate with us! Tell your friends, tell your family, tell everyone (EEEEEVVVVRRRYYYONNEEE*)!
If you aren't in Utah, fear not! We'll be live streaming the first hour of the event (6:30 - 7:30 PM MST) on the interwebz. Just check in here, my professional Facebook page, the event page, or my twitter account for the link a few minutes before the event begins, and that should connect you!
But if you can make it, you're in luck! There'll be plenty of swag at the launch party for everyone who attends, as well as t-shirts for the first 30ish people! And refreshments, too :-).
The swag is coming together quite nicely :-).
As many of you may be aware, we've been working on a book trailer for Duskfall, and if all goes according to plan, we're going to premier that at the book launch party! We're very excited to show that to everyone; we've been working with an awesome media studio (Cosmic Reach Media) to make it as cool as possible.
But, most importantly--and best of all--you'll be able to buy signed copies of Duskfall, hear me give a brief spiel and a reading from the novel, as well as a Q&A with the author (yeah, the author is totally me...I just wanted to say it). That stuff will make up the first hour of the event (6:30 - 7:30ish PM), and the second hour will be devoted to signing, hanging out, and generally having a good time!
It's gonna be a cool think, ya'll. This has been in the work for quite some time, now, and we are excited, grateful, and looking forward to this as well as whatever else life has in store.
Come celebrate with us!
