It’s not just a coincidence, it’s a mistake. We got the information from Wikipedia, but I have no idea who put it in there. Colin Smythe, Terry’s agent, just pointed out to us that the book was actually published on May 10th. So we can have another birthday in a bit over a week, if we want.

Oh dear. :D Very Good Omens though :). Probably switched at the hospital. ❤

whoops lmao that’s honestly the funniest thing ever even the co-author didn’t know when his book was released 😂

I don’t know the publication date of any of my books. Or even how many of them there have been, at this point*. 

Mostly I couldn’t even give you the month they were published, and I’d be happy if I could name the year and the season.

Except I think that American Gods was published on June 18th or 20th 2001. (Goes and checks in https://www.neilgaiman.com/journal/agblogarchive/2001_06/ because I no longer trust Wikipedia.) Nope, it was June the 19th. I did a signing at the Borders Books in the World Trade Centre.

* I just googled it and was told “At least 34.” THIS IS NOT HELPFUL.
