We have a new book out ....

wait, we've done that before. No need to jump up and down and cheer and ... we must be dignified and professional about publishing. So I'm told....

Yeah right. if it wasn't still exciting and fun, I don't think we'd still be doing it, you know?

In any case, the fact is that I picked up a small partial run of Double Vision late yesterday afternoon, and during a computer down-time caused by last evening's bands of thunderstorms we managed to sign a good number of them -- so on theory I ought to be getting the first few dozen pre-orders of Double Vision into the mail today, at which point the book really will be out. The cover is striking ... www.srmpublisher.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp

and I'm not sure if I get to run to Augusta to pick up the rest of them today, or not, since we're also working on other stuff -- like seeing if we can pick up Sharon's new-to-her set of wheels. I also today have to do the annual registration on my car and get some other real life thing in gear... and pick up the insurance thing proving coverage in Canada ... if you're driving to Worldcon, you ought to have this.

The Double Vision time-line has slipped a bit, in part because I've been distracted by some other necessary business and in part because my printers tell me they'll need extra time because they've been lucky enough to be expanding despite the zombie apocalypse that has hurt so many businesses in Maine. So, we're now looking to late June or early July for shipping .... sigh.

The other reason for delay is that I clearly underestimated prep time working with old "finished" files. It continues to amaze me how many artifacts of word processing and publishing programs survive multiple conversions to come back and haunt me. In this case, deep in a proof, I now find letters in red, added by a copy editor some years back. Gah ... which brings up part of the point of the post: I need a few more eyes on the not-quite-ready Double Vision file, despite that they are, everyone, derived from previously published material, most, supposedly from the publication files.

Sharon's working on the Mouse and Dragon submission revision now that I've gone over it -- and rather than distract her with Double Vision, I'm looking for a few readers who can take a PDF file and look it over this weekend in search of dropped paragraphs, missing pages, and the like. If you're interested, please drop me a line at editor1 (that's at srmpublisher.com ) ... depending on how many readers I get I may ask for help on a chapter basis or a front/back basis.... again, editor1 ( at srmpublisher.com )

And in view of this delay, we'll be running the Double Vision subscription offer at srmpublisher.com through Monday morning...

Thanks!
