New release date

Well, if all goes well, Icy Pavements should hit Amazon and the rest on February 22. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that this is going to actually be it.

My patience is frozen...

...along with the rest of me. *G*

No, really, I don't mind so much that the book is delayed. I'd actually rather they delay it and make sure it's *right* than have them rush.

My impatience is only because of promises of news and contact that just aren't happening.

Ah, well, if things ran smoothly, I'd probably be worried about *that*.

Patience is my by-word

Still no news from the publisher, so I must assume we are among those who are out in the cold until mid-January or later.

I would be nice if they sent out something that actually said what was going on, but I have heard nothing. I'll give them another week, now that the holidays are over, but then I will have to write to them, I suppose.

Delays, delays, delays

Well, I just got a letter from the publishing house. Somehow they have managed to overextend themselves for their 'before Christmas' publications.

What does this mean? This means that I may be one (perhaps among many) who will not see their book until after January, when their new on-line automated system is operational.

This, however is not certain, and may depend on whether the cover art I submitted was done to their specs. I'm sure it was, but since I have not yet received confirmation I can't be certain. According to their letter (which is rather uninformative), I probably know know for certain until next week.

Don't you just love when people aren't as organized as you are? *L*

Ah, well, I did tell people the book would be available for Christmas, but now??? I guess they can always purchase copies to give away for Valentine's day.

ISBN numbers and distribution

As of today, I finally got notice that the distribution permits had gone out for “Icy Pavements” (Barnes & Noble, Waterstones, Amazon, etc.). There’s only one problem. They have not yet assigned it an ISBN for distribution.

Oh, well.

Here’s hoping that, as in show business, a rough dress rehearsal equates to a brilliant opening night.
