My dual book order from Amazon has arrived (see previous blog entry). Philippa Ballantine’s Digital Magic and Tee Morris’s The Case of the Pitcher’s Pendant (a Billibub Baddings novel). I ordered them on 08/08/2008.

I am looking forward to reading them, and will start with Billibub first, as I haven’t finished listening to Philippa’s first novel, Chasing the Bard.

Double Trouble

8-8-08, yes its the opening of the games, but thats not whats important! Its double-trouble, the dual release of Tee Morris’s The Case of the Pitcher’s Pendant (a Billibub Baddings novel) and Philippa Ballantine’s Digital Magic.

Though with the wackyness of timezones, the official purchase time is 8am Pacific, which is 3am Saturday (9-8-08) New Zealand. So if you do happen to read this in time and decide to buy, any time after 3am Saturday New Zealand time is good. (Yes you can apparently do it on Saturday morning, but I think those people are slackers. Its 3am or bust for me)

Of significant note is that Philippa Ballantine is New Zealands only podcast novelist. So support local talent, and buy her book.
