Yo, Melbourne peeps: if you're looking for a signed copy of Shadow Queen, I stopped into the Dymocks on Collins street yesterday and signed their stock for them, so that's the place to go.

(I also stopped into the Reader's Feast, but I did not sign their copies because the bookstore clerk, while perfectly polite, greeted my offer with a wild-eyed expression that would have equally suited a suggestion to pour petrol on their stock and set the store alight.) (Poor bookstore clerk, I shouldn't poke fun of him, it's not his fault that it was a Saturday and his boss wasn't there to approve the defiling of books by randomly visiting crazy writers.)
