"January 16 -- Dragon Ship (due November 15) turn in". Now, since I know our sagacious authors meet all their deadlines perfectly on time (if not early!), am I right in presuming that this means that the publication date for said book is November 15?
Nope; it means what it says: The deadline for the manuscript to be turned in was November 15. However, there is a 60-day grace period in the contract, which this time we had to utilize, due to a lack of understanding on our part about how last year's health challenges and on-going lifestyle changes would impact our writing process.
Because the three books were scheduled for delivery so close together, once one's late. . .they're all late. Just like in dominoes.
To the best of my knowledge, Dragon Ship is scheduled for release on September 4. The other two books aren't scheduled yet.
