Originally, the audiobook edition of The Coldest War was scheduled to come out tomorrow, December 20.  Alas, it turns out that the narrator for the Audible.com edition of The Coldest War, Kevin Pariseau, had an unexpected scheduling conflict that made it necessary to push the release date back a few weeks.

So, rather than December 19, it’ll be coming out on January 17.

(More below the cut.) 

Okay, I’m doing it again.  After letting the blog lie fallow for a couple of weeks (I was traveling for my day job last week; let’s blame that) I’m popping in with more news about the Milkweed books.  But I have a really good excuse this time:

Orbit UK has acquired the Milkweed Triptych for publication in the UK and British Commonwealth! 

That’s right—Raybould Marsh and Will Beauclerk are going to be published in their home country.  I cannot begin to describe how delighted I am… but let me try.

I received the galley pages for The Coldest War this weekend.   It’s starting to look like an actual book!

This is an exciting stage because this is the first place where I get to see the pages more-or-less as they’ll appear in the final physical hardcover, complete with elements of book design.  It’s really fun to see a book at this point in the process.  This is where, for me, it begins to feel more real—this is the point where it becomes easier for me to imagine the big pile of words as an actual book written not by me but by an actual writer.

I’ll get back to the usual inane ramblings about the price of helium and the smell of Gene Simmons after this.

But, in the meantime, there have been some exciting developments, so I wanted to give another update on the Milkweed books.

…are finished.

Which is just an annoying way for me to mention that the copyedited manuscript for The Coldest War has been turned in.  So the publication process continues to move forward.  Hooray!
