It looks like the date for the launch party of BEDLAM AT THE BRICKYARD, the racing anthology by the Speed City chapter of Sisters in Crime, will be pushed back from May 22 until sometime in June, perhaps to Father's Day weekend. The book is apparently at the printer but I still haven't seen the cover design. And while I have been told it is a vast improvement over what you see on Amazon.com if you want to pre-order -- and by all means, do pro-order -- the publisher hasn't released it to the chapter yet. So, we can't put it on our website, send out invitations and I can't order bookmarks and other materials to support the launch.
This is a bit distressing but I am told by others in the industry that's how things often work in publishing. So, this evening we will probably push back the date until we know we have the books in hand. That is, apparently, what the guy at Barnes and Noble store suggests.
I will update you all later on what is happening when I know it.
For now, thanks for reading.
NOTE: The decision has been made to postpone. More information later. mbd
