#pub dates

Any idea when the Chalet chef and the snow pack will be out, preferably on Kindle? Thank you. Those are still look yummy.

No dates yet (there's still a fair amount of work to go). But thanks for asking!

We always release into all the major ebook formats (which these days means .epubs across the board: Amazon retired the .mobi format at the end of 2023). So yeah, of course, Kindle along with everything else. But for the first 30 days the new book will (as usual) only be available at Ebooks Direct.

Meanwhile, at least the cover's coming along a little faster than usual... :) (This is just a rough: a full-detail render will take most of a night...)

...The above rough came about because of the sudden memory of this:

...Doubtless not a new trope, but this was the version I thought of first. Can anyone ID it? Image search isn't being much help. The reblogged image where I found it has no credit... merely says "Artist unknown." So do any of the early-2010s BBC!Sherlockians possibly recognize the art or know the artist? I'd love to credit them...

Publish, Release, Launch: Some of The What and When of Book Publishing

I will let you in on a secret: no one, not even the big publishers, know exactly when to publish a book. 

A great list of the types of books that publish in each month of the year.  This is a general breakdown, not a list of rules!  Some genres are not included because they publish year-round.  But it is a useful article to get an idea of what kinds of books are publishing when, and for understanding why your publisher might feel it better to publish your memoir about cooking in the White House in fall rather than in spring.

(So I haven't been sleeping and I don't think I'll be able to for a while? I thought these nerves were only supposed to happen if I was the one who wrote something that was being published in the near future. Guess not! Feel free to send me emails at 4am, I will write back promptly.)
