desperanceWe inhabit a world in which ARCs exist.
Not mine, of course; these are for Daniel Fox's Jade Man's Skin. Dan has gone all waggy puppy on me; I of course am sardonic and mature, having seen more books pass through my hands than he has cooked hot dinners. (Left to himself, I think Dan would subsist on air alone. Air and gossip, perhaps: hot air. Luckily, I never leave him to himself.)
Still'n'all. ARCs. They exist. It's a good thing. If anyone has a proper professional use for one - if you keep a review blog, or order for a bookshop, or whatever: y'know, something that might contribute to the book's reception or the idiot boy's sales down the road - let me know, and I'll have a seductive word with his editor. Who listens to me, for some bizarre reason. (Some other time, I'll tell you about the cover for Jade Man's Skin. Which is now up to version 9, I think...)
