\"ThePatrick St. Denis made an interesting post over at Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist<\/a> regarding the US release of Richard Morgan’s<\/a> upcoming Fantasy novel, The Steel Remains<\/strong>. Here’s what he had to say:<\/p>\n

In light of all the grumbling generated by the fact that there was no US pub date regarding Morgan’s fantasy debut, The Steel Remains (Canada, USA, Europe), I decided to inquire to lay the matter to rest.<\/p>\n

I heard back from Betsy Mitchell, editor in chief at Del Rey Books, this morning. With the fall season already crowded, they felt that the book would benefit from a spring release date. Hence, the US edition of The Steel Remains will be published on February 24th 2009.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You see, sometimes I am the bringer of good news!;-)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I worry about Del Rey. I understand how release schedules work, but I find it hard to believe that they have many authors (Terry Brooks being probably the sole exception) that are more popular at the moment that Morgan. With web site’s like The Book Depository<\/a> making is easy (and cheap) to import novels from the UK, I imagine that they’ll lose a lot of sales in the six months between the UK and the US release.<\/p>\n

I suppose, however, that they know their business better than I do. I’ll be picking up the UK release, though (unless someone at Gollancz wants to send me a review copy *winkwinknudgenudge*). At the very least it’s nice to have the release date confirmed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
