The GeekMom Book is Here (And Available for Preorder)

I got a very nice package in the mail today containing one copy of the finished book I worked on with Jenny Williams, Corrina Lawson, and Kathy Ceceri — Geek Mom: Projects, Tips, and Adventures for Moms and Their 21st Century Families. It was a labor of love that started more than two years ago, even before GeekMom.com existed. We’re really excited to share the geeky side of being a mom with the world.

If you’re so inclined, you can preorder the book on Amazon, or wherever you so desire.

From a writer’s perspective, I do plan one day to write about the million differences between writing and publishing non-fiction, as well as the process from someone who came from small press to the big time. But that’s another day. Today I’m cleaning house and spending the afternoon with my little girl, and contemplating making some crafts out of the millions of pinecones in my yard. (Also, daydreaming about what I could do with the Form 1 3D Printer if I had that kind of money to back it… sigh…) Priorities, natch.

Pilgrim is the GeekMom Book of the Month at Goodreads!

That’s right. If you’ve been waiting to talk about Pilgrim of the Sky, now is your chance. I’m thrilled that the book was chosen as the Goodreads book of May for the GeekMom Book Club over at Goodreads*, and the conversation has already begun. Don’t worry if you’re not a mom, it’s not a requirement!

If you haven’t picked up the book yet, it’s available at the Candlemark & Gleam Website, at Amazon, and at Barnes & Noble (Kindle and Nook included).

As a bonus, I’m hoping to hold a Google Hangout at the end of the month to talk to the readers of the group and answer questions, and we may even do a Twitter event (depending upon when exactly my little squirmy bundle of joy decides to grace us with her presence).

*And in other tangentially related news, we’ve just announced that GeekMom is to become part of Wired.com. How cool is that?! I couldn’t be prouder.
