    Well, it's been a long time coming, but my publisher just sent me the proof for the cover of my sci-fi novel today, and it looks fantastic! I wrote back and told them it was well worth the wait.

    As soon as they release the book, I'll make a shameless announcement so you can all rush out and buy a copy. (Unless, of course, you want me to come to your town for a book-signing!)

    Your guess is as good as mine. It's been typeset for months, has an ISBN number, and now that it has a cover proof, it shouldn't be much longer.

    I was kinda hoping it would be out by Christmas, but I think realistically it will be early next year. As soon as I know for sure, I'll let everyone know. I've already given the release go-ahead to the publisher.

    Hi Morty,

    I'll travel just about anywhere for a book signing (except Nigeria....LOL!! )

    I've already got bookstores in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Nova Scotia interested in signings.

    You set me up with a signing, and I'll make sure you get an autographed copy! (Well.... you'll probably get one anyway.....)

    I'm not sure what bookstores will be carrying it yet. The publisher has to list it in their next catalogue, and then their sales force has to sell it to the various retail outlets.

    I do know that it will be available through Amazon.com, plus I plan to keep a limited supply here for autographed copies, which people will be able to order through my own personal web site. I'll get that set up as soon as I have more details on costs, etc. from the publisher.
