OBSTETRIX is coming out next month!

In the mail this week I got a big box of books — my author copies of OBSTETRIX!

OBSTETRIX -- a pink book that says OBSTETRIX / Naomi Kritzer and has an image of a hypodermic syringe casting the shadow of a cross. In small white text it says, "O Lord, Deliver Us."

Obstetrix, my book about an OB/GYN who gets kidnapped by a cult because they want an expert on hand to deliver their babies, comes out on June 9th. You can pre-order (or buy) it anywhere fine books are sold, but if you would like a SIGNED COPY, you can pre-order from one of my local bookstores and let them know you want it signed. I have an actual in-person signing scheduled at Uncle Hugo’s on June 27th (2-3 p.m.); I have an in-person event scheduled at Moon Palace on June 18th; and I’m going to go over to Dreamhaven to sign stock and personalize copies as requested. (There are many many many Twin Cities area bookstores and I’m happy to come sign stock / do personalized signatures at any of them — bookstores not currently listed here should feel free to e-mail me and I will add you to this list and plan to come by and sign in June.)

To order from Uncle Hugo’s, go to their Books By Naomi Kritzer page and add any personalization you’d like in the Special Instructions when you check out.

To order from Dreamhaven, they have a page for Obstetrix and you can request a signed / personalized copy in the Order Notes when you check out.

To order from Moon Palace, they have a page for Obstetrix and you can request a signed/personalized copy in the “Instructions or Comments” field as you’re checking out.

You can now pre-order CATFISHING ON CATNET

Catfishing on CatNet will be coming out from Tor Teen on November 19th. If you want to get your hands on it at the earliest possible moment, you can pre-order it today and it will be shipped to you as soon as the seller has it!

You can pre-order it from Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble (or your own local favorite bookstore). You can also get in touch with Uncle Hugo’s Science Fiction Bookstore or Dreamhaven Books. I will be signing books at both of those stores after the book comes out, so if you’re willing to wait for a signed copy but you don’t expect to run into me at a convention, they can both help you out.

Note that since this book comes out in November, it will also make a TERRIFIC holiday gift for any teenager you know. (Or any adult you know who doesn’t treat books with teenage characters like literary poison ivy. I love YA and middle grade books and don’t understand adults who don’t, but I know they’re out there because they periodically write snotty thinkpieces.)

If you’d like to read an excerpt, it’s here. (I’m thinking about posting some of the cut scenes on my blog, like the extended explanation of how “I’m going to start a dating site” turned into “I now run a social network.”)
