'Transubstantiate' by Richard Thomas - Now Out!

Hells yeah, Richard. Can't wait for mine to come in the mail.

Cheers,
-BT

I'm assuming so, but will this be available online only?

Congratulations and godspeed, oh son of many cult intensives. Go thou forth unto confetti and champagne. May you have a thousand parties with no hangover.

looks like i'll be sitting and waiting by my mail box for the next few weeks. i can't wait to read it. so excited.

Congrats Richard, and best of luck with it all!

Congrats man! Very cool!

thanks everyone, i really appreciate it

for now, it is only available via online order, we are not in any brick and mortar stores, but if that changes i'll let everyone know - we're a bit behind schedule, so we'll see what distribution we get, if any - but we will eventually be up on Amazon, Amazon.co.uk, Barnes & Noble, Borders, Powell's, ibooks, etc. and i'll probably hawk a few signed paperbacks at my blog too, for those that want a signed copy and didn't get the signed/limited

we'll have readings in chicago for sure, and i'm doing book clubs too, some local, one in st. louis, and i'm always open to that too, either via the internet, or if it's within driving range, here in the midwest

Congratulations, man! Yay!!

thanks z, appreciate it

Ordered this the other day, because it sounds fucking good. Can't wait to read it.

Oh yeah, the book tour schedule comes out. I'll be the drunk guy with the bandanna on his face, asking you to speak louder into the microphone.

Ordered the signed/limited, because it'll be like GOLD in the future.

hahahahah...thanks guys

@joshua - um, no need to post up any kind of review here, i've seen how you shred people thanks for the order

@golding - sweet, we need more of that

@monkey - thanks bro, you're good people, much appreciated

good day, got a great 5 star review at BBB too, so happy-happy http://bittenbybooks.com/?p=26303

I have books, set aside waiting to be read at a later date - notably Dermaphoria - while I await my signed/limited (future-GOLD!) copy to arrive in the mail.

I am excited for this.

awesome, thanks tuffy, so very cool of you - and yes, man, go read derm now, it's a fantastic book

Nonono! Dermaphoria is for after!

I know, right? I was just thinking maybe I should order a reading copy so I don't damage my soon to be highly sought after collectible.

I wonder if I'm the only person in Australia to have a copy? Well, I don't actually have it yet. But hopefully soon, I'm really looking forward to reading this. And I'm bummed because itotally forgot to ses an email for a personal inscription.

@ tuffy - well, the S/L will be a couple weeks still, most likely, and that's a damn fine book, hate to make you wait

@ des - well, sure...that's the way to go! if you wait a bit it'll be $10 on Barnes & Noble, Amazon, etc. or if you use the OWPMEM code for $2 OFF it's only $12, but thanks for everything already - i've just finished the first draft of my next book, Disintegration, so i'll definitely be publishing more books, no one-hit wonder here

@ matthew - if you send OWP a note, i can personalize it - the books are on their way to me NOW, and should be here maybe as early as today, but probably next week - go to http://www.otherworldpublications.com and send over a note to lynn

THANKS EVERYONE!

I know i brought up the personalization thing back when I ordered mine, but I didn't know I was supposed to say anything to them!

just shoot lynn a note over at otherworld and we'll get that taken care of, haven't signed them yet, but very soon

just sent my email!

yay for personal inscriptions!

Haha. I'm reading this one for pleasure, not as an assignment.

cool, that allows me to breathe a bit - now, if for some reason you really LOVE it and want to DO a glowing review, i certainly won't hold you back - and hey, congrats on all of the recent interviews and reviews, really a fantastic job, great to have you here contributing, you have great taste and i enjoy your writing a lot

Also - Richard and I have been talking. We will be doing a Book Club discussion for Transubstantiate sometime in September. That way everybody gets a chance to get their copy and read it. It looks like Caleb Ross will be the discussion leader. And Richard has said that he wants to be highly involved.

Richard - we need you to pimp out the discussion on your facebook and any other networking things you use.

Also I will talk to Dennis about doing the same.

This is going to be a kick ass discussion!

Thanks, can't wait. Excited to have Caleb on board, he's very smart, well read, and will bring a lot to this, I think. He's good people, and an excellent writer as well. Of course I'll whore out the book club, I'm always on the clock, brother. Let me know when it's all official and we have a thread, etc. and I'll spread the word. I'm already going to try to put together some questions for my book club in STL, so I'll be sure to post something up - maybe 10-20 to get us started.

It is true, Caleb is smart, well read, and he will bring a lot to this. He's good people and an excellent writer.

He is looking forward to this.

hahahahaah...thanks bro, can't wait

lol

Just got my copy today! And perfect timing because I just finished Justin Cronin's The Passage, last night!

oh man, i hate to follow THE PASSAGE (how was it?) thanks so much kittenboo, i really hope you enjoy it - appreciate the support, very cool

That's funny, because I was about to start the Passage, but I put it down to read Richard's book.

hahahhahha...oh man, i think the passage is like three times as long - hope you all dig it, so far people have been pretty receptive - i appreciate the support guys

we're going to do Transubstantiate at the Book Club here at the Cult too, maybe in August or September, give people a chance to get it and read it, so keep an eye out

You wrote a book ? Shit, no one tells me anything.

hahahah...seriously? i thought everybody knew by now...i've been a total whore about it, non-stop

we ship worldwide

I LOVED The Passage! I could not put it down. Funny thing is I did not know it was a trilogy, and was quite distressed at the end, because while it had its own ending, I just wanted to know more!

I'm excited to get through your book next

I'm still waiting for mine

And Caleb is going to be the discussion leader.

I'm stoked to get the book club going again. And I can't think of a better way to do it than with one of our own here.

Very cool, PG, can't wait. S/L went in the mail yesterday and today, so they should be to you soon Brandon. Thanks, Kitten, hope you dig it.

Richard - I shit you not - I've been running out to the mailbox like a little kid waiting for the cereal box toy I mailed away for. lol

lol, sorry PG, i feel like an ass, but it's so out of my hands, to you soon, really, i promise...i think some people have GOTTEN their S/L already, and i know the paperbacks have been landing all over the US

I just got my paperback!!! Did you send it on overnight express or something? It got here so fast.

Great inscription too, thanks Richard.

Matthew, keep doing God's work, here at the edge of the world, Richard Thomas

so stoked. Just started reading it. I couldn't wait, even though I am behind on my word count for the 50k challenge. Ha. Maybe I'll finish it tonight.

My s/l hasn't arrived yet though.

very cool, matthew, glad you got it, wow it did get there fast, hope you enjoy it after all of this hype, no pressure - jeez, how do the big guys do it?

thanks PG, soon...soon

Beware of the competition !

So, yeah, I read it in two 100-ish word chunks over a 24-hour period and, umm, yeah--just buy it.

Thanks Matthew, wow, that was fast! Glad you liked it. If you feel motivated to post up some glowing reviews at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and GoodReads.com, I'd certainly appreciate it.

That goes for anyone that likes it. Thanks guys, I need all the help I can get.

I'mma kill a fool if I don't get my S/L in the mail soon.

lol...should seriously be there like, today...if you don't get it by Wednesday, let me know, they all went out this week, or so i was told

does anyone else's Paperback version randomly switch font sizes? mine seems to every now and then go to a smaller font. say switching between 12 and 11 or 10 point. it's odd, and at first, i thought it may have been a stylistic thing. but then i figured it was a printing thing.

Richard? you know anything about this, man? it's a minor thing, but can be pretty distracting to the old eyes at times.

I still haven't gotten mine...
