So how can a member of the general public ask the publishing industry to please reprint a book that's out of print ? "A Night in the Lonesome October" needs to be reprinted for sure. Has a large following.

Welp. It looks like Harper Voyager (waitaminit; isn't Harper Voyager a YA imprint? Creatures of Light and Darkness is not a kid's book.) is reprinting a bunch of Roger's titles, so the best bet is to write to them, as his current publisher, and express your interest.

I will tell you that Night... is a difficult case because many people Do Not Understand it. The whole concept of an "advent calendar" for Halloween; the number and kinds of characters he included; and the story arc itself really offended some readers. It is not, by any means, his most popular or successful work, though those of us who love it are vocal in our adoration.

I'm reading Brigg's Sianim books at the moment, Masques and Wolfbane, and I'm enjoying them. I've already read the other two, Steal the Dragon, and When Demons Walk, and enjoyed them as well.

The WOL: have you read the Hurog duology too? Or the Raven duology?
"Frost Burned will be out in March, with more Ben "he-isn't-the-London-rapist" werewolf & Stefan the vampire who's trying to cure life threatening illnesses through being a vampire's "sheep". And Mercy is featured in the charity pin up calendar: http://leemoyer.wordpress.com/tag/patricia-briggs/

It would be fun to see Miri or Theo - or Cantra! in this.
