Update on Availability

Just wanted to let you know that yes, Time Meddlers Undercover has been released and is available. However, due to the recent downswing in the economy and publisher/distributor issues, the best place to purchase (if you haven't picked up a copy yet) is the LBF web site or Amazon.com. There is some mishmash with Amazon.ca--a takeover by Amazon.com, I believe--that has left the site frozen in time. Time Meddlers Undercover is "still" listed as Pre-release and no changes are being made to any titles. Chapters, which has always been a great support, now has distribution issues with our US distributor, but some local stores are carrying copies. Barnes & Noble? I don't know what's going on with them. Borders, yes, it is available. Now, that said, LBF is making huge strides in the e-book market. They have contracts with BN, ARe, OmniLit, Fictionwise, OverDrive, MobiPocket, My bookstore, More, and Sony eBooks. Books should be available on Kindle by the end of the year. That means the series should be available at a number of different retailers, including some in the UK. They're also making inroads in foreign sales--so you may see the series pop up on the other side of the globe one of these days.

I appreciate your understanding. This is a difficult time for all publishers and many other businesses.

Signings

I'm scheduling some signings this spring.

Saturday, April 10: Chapters, Kingston 1 - 3 pm

Saturday, April 17: Chapters, Montreal (Pointe Claire) 2 -4 pm

I'll also be doing one or two more in May. Details to follow.

In between, maybe a vacation. That anniversary thing is coming up. Twentieth. Can hardly believe it. I'm thinking tropical--even though it's nice and warm here.
