ERRATA

Ok, it looks like I was somewhat wrong in my last post – the check which arrived was actually for the D&A (Delivery and Acceptance) of STATE OF DECAY, not THE SILENT ARMY as I had first thought.  Although SoD has been all the way through page proofs and will be on the shelves in six months it has already been ‘accepted’, but not, it seems, technically considered accepted accepted until recently.  I found this out when I emailed my agent asking if the D&A for TSA had somehow come before the D&A for SoD…he referred back to the letter he sent with the check, where it clearly stated what the check was actually for (we quaintly refer to this phenomenon in the tech world as ‘RTFM’).  It was then that I clenched one fist and silently vowed that before the sun set on this year, I would finally learn to read.

At any rate – I believe I can safely assume my editor has not yet read THE SILENT ARMY so scratch that.  She did ask to see some short stories though, which was a pleasant surprise.  I assume this to be in response to my query about getting short stories posted on Amazon gratis (aka ‘fer free’) as a means of developing some street cred prior to launch.  Also, she let me know that some ARCs for SoD are in the mail, so my suspicions were correct about the ARC thing.  I’m looking forward to seeing the ARCs.  As the publication date draws closer I find myself tentatively sniffing around the web looking for mention of the book, and am excited to actually find several.

I am including a link for purchase on this site.
