There are so many things I want to say about this book, and how much I love it. This is not the kind of love that can be damaged by pointing out its flaws, or discovering new typos. I’m not sure what could damage my love for TNBY, but it’d have to be drastic.
Really. I adore it. I hope you do, too.
The town in this book is based on an actual town. If you call it out in comments, here on the blog or on Facebook, I will send you an ebook copy of one book, your choice, anything already out, or if you’ve got all those, something that comes out next year. The clue, for those of you who know the Marin County stretch of coastline where the story takes place, is the turned street sign. (I played with the locations of the stores a bit, don’t be bothered by details.)
Then again, I suppose there could be more than one small coastal town where someone turns the sign so it can’t be found…I might be opening myself up for controversy.
I want to yammer on at length, but I’m going to withhold my yammering for a bit and put it behind a spoiler cut. For now, the book is going live everywhere, and new releases list folks should be getting their coupons in the next few days (actually, I think we’ll give Saturday a whirl this time around).
God, it’s good to spend the holidays with the Scientific Method crew. Wait. You’re saying the holidays aren’t here yet? Well, I’ll just reread it at New Year’s, then. (Hang on, New Year’s with an apostrophe. See, that’s a typo. It’s a consistent one, though, so maybe folks will forgive me. New Years? Both look right to my eye.)
And if I put out another novel between now and the actual New Year, you lot will have Nadine to thank. She wants Nick and Bernie in her stocking–a feat I cannot deliver–but it has been eating away at me that I’ve got a ghost story up my sleeve that happens to take place over the holidays…

p.s. The amazon.ca link is http://www.amazon.ca/Born-Year-Scientific-Method-… (and they had the book available yesterday! No more waiting for the actual release day for me, I'm going to be checking early from now on!
Also, if you need another pair of eyes to proofread your books ahead of release to look for typos, I am available 😉
Nadine, are you trying to tell me this book had TYPOS???
Oh boy, you are not necessarily going to be happy you made that offer… Drop me a line at kris@krisripper.com and we'll see just how quickly I can overwhelm you!
I already read it. The announcement (don't want to spoil) let me hope for another book in this series. Perhaps a longer one? I really like to read books with lots of pages:-)
This book is definitely different to the books before because it's written in Allys view.
Oh, the announcement! (I am so excited. Talk about a million new ideas.) I love long books. This is actually about eleven thousand words longer than I'd budgeted for it, but it was such a sweet ride, I couldn't cut Ally's story off. That would have been rude.
I'm already brainstorming more Ally. Never fear! As for more books in this series, I suspect there will always be more books in this series. The Scientific Method as a series is not for people who think things should end with a full stop. I always have more stories to write with these characters, and The New Born Year opened up–if possible–more than ever.
