Ending a Series: Tomorrow Manners & Mutiny Drops

Tomorrow Manners & Mutiny officially heads out into the world (yes, it shipped early in a few places). This is the last book in the Finishing School series.

The Finishing School series was a lot of firsts for me. The first time I wrote YA. The first time I planned the number of books in the series from the very start. The first time I had a hardcover release. First time I visited schools.

And now it’s done. I’m feeling a lot of things about this: relief, happiness, euphoria, exhaustion, satisfaction, wistfulness, sadness. But out it goes into the world, regardless of my feelings.

Online Facebook Q&A ~ TODAY ONLY

If you have a question for me I’ll be running a Q&A on FB today starting at 2pm Pacific (although I’ll check up the rest of the day as well). Just in case, here are a few questions I keep getting that may be one of yours…

Questions Percolating On Social Media

Where is the audiobook?
The audiobook should drop soon in the US. I don’t know about elsewhere, I never know about elsewhere.

Will there be a box set or an ebook bundle of the four books?
I don’t know. Not for a while I don’t think. There hasn’t been any discussion.

Any word on Hollywood and the Finishing School?
Nope.

Can we order signed copies online?
Sorry, no. That was a (catastrophic) 3rd book only thing. However, I’m considering offering one book plate to each interested newsletter subscriber (as a holiday thank you) next month. Also, you can call and talk to the bookstores on my tour, see if they offer a sign and ship service. If all else fails, I will be at Borderlands the first week of December and they certainly offer this service, and ship overseas. 888.898.4003 I am willing to personalize for bookstore orders.

Want to know more about how I feel ending a series? 
Here are the two blog posts I did upon the release of Timeless, the final book of my first series, the Parasol Protectorate: Ending A Series ~ Part 1: Practicalities and Ending a Series ~ Part 2: Emotions.

    Hello Mrs.Carriger, pardon my curiosity but I have so many questions. For instance, I saw some reviews on the Parasol Protectorate series and I saw Lady Maccon, and I was wondering how Sidheag and Lady Maccon are related? Also, is it possible that Madame Lefoux and Professor Lefoux are the same person?

    Thank you for reading this
