Speaking of Trade Secret. . .
. . .the eArc is now available in every format known to humankind, direct from Baen. Here's the link.

Remember that eArcs are uncorrected; expect spelling errors and grammatical atrocities of every stripe and patch; names may morph in the middle of the story; continuity may be found in disarray. You have been warned.

Will there be a Trade Secret Audiobook?
To the best of our knowledge, based on a conversation with Mr. Feldberg of Audible at the BEA -- yes, there will be an audiobook edition of Trade Secret, to be released simultaneously with the hardcover, in November.

Speaking of Audiobooks. . .
. . .we have here in our hands the contract for an audio edition of The Tomorrow Log. Details regarding publication date and narrator to come.

No local appearances listed . . .

We're working on a Maine sub-tour, for when we get back from the Big Tour. Between the tour and the con, we'll be on the road for 12 days, without including Maine. And 12 days on the road? Is enough at one go.

Semi tongue-in-cheek. We're about a thousand miles away at the moment, anyway. With an . . . uncertain . . . schedule.

Tour of the Northeast

And the U Penn bookstore was truly awesome the last time I was there (been several years) but I will look for you a little closer to home. Heck I could catch you at 3 or 4 of those stores. Presumably I can get my hard copies of Trade Secret in Nashua or Burlington or is it really not available until 11/5?
