The power of kittens compels you.

Buy Rosemary and Rue [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxies]. Because if you don't, you'll make the kitten cry. (Actually, you'll probably just make the kitten shed and play with feather toys. But that's beside the point.)

I always do what the Kittens tell me ...

... so what's the most effective place and time to buy a copy, in terms of encouraging booksellers to order a stack of books from your publisher to display prominently?

Pre-order now or just before release or just after? Local independent, online store, brick and mortar chain?

My local indie bookstore says that preorders placed more that 3 months pre-release get kicked out of the system, so I'm there June first. Of course, I also ordered a copy online, so I'm covered for the kitten-compulsion.

Honestly, your individual order won't change the initial orders from B&N or Borders, both of which will have their order size determined by corporate (here's hoping it's awesome). catnip13 is right about waiting for June if not ordering through one of the links above; I'd recommend your local independent if you have one, because they always need the sales.
