      People sometimes ask how they can buy my books in a way that supports me most. Ebooks vs print, hardcover vs paperback, one retailer vs the other. It's hard to generalize bc every contract is different. But there is absolutely one way to support authors you care about: PREORDER.

      Preordering is the single best way, as far as I can tell, to support any author. When you preorder, you're letting the retailer know that you're excited about a particular book, and thus other people might be too. You're guaranteeing one sale as soon as the book arrives.

      Plus the sales of a book in the first week after release seem to matter a lot, and preordering means you're guaranteed to be part of those first-week sales. Early support can help a book stay on shelves longer, and makes it more likely you'll see more books from that author.

      You can preorder from any retailer, either online or bricks-and-mortar. Your local independent bookstore would be delighted to take your order now for any book that has an ISBN and an upcoming release date, and they'll call or email you when it arrives.

      And now, here's a plug. My next novel, The City in the Middle of the Night, comes out Feb. 12, but you can preorder it right now. It's already listed on @amazon, @bnbuzz, @Powells, @iBooks, @indiebound, and other places. I would consider it a personal kindness if you preordered.
