No Such Luck

Got the bad news today that iBooks, which was to reprint my historical novel Ruler of the Sky, is going bankrupt, so a trade paperback won't be coming out in the US after all. The good news is that I still own the rights, as my agent got a reversion from that publisher. Interestingly, Ruler is still in print in Spain 12 years after coming out there, and the Germans have just bought the rights to publish yet another (the fourth) edition there.

I've signed up here, with the speakers' bureau of AboutSF, a project of the Center for the Study of Science Fiction.

Ruler Reissue

A new trade paperback edition of my 1993 historical novel Ruler of the Sky will be published in 2006 by iBooks.

A New Year

I addressed the issue of the alleged "war on Christmas" here last year, and that whole phony controversy has only become more heated and ludicrous since then, so I'm dodging it altogether by wishing everyone a Happy New Year!
