No. Sorry. Not done yet.<\/p>\n

I’m close, though. Watch this space. When the book is done, you will read it here. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile… there is news. Big news. The end is in sight, at long long last, and we’re close enough so that my editors and publishers at Bantam Spectra have set an actual publication date.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Yes, I know. You’ve all seen publication dates before: dates in 2007, 2008, 2009. None of those were ever hard dates, however. Most of them… well, call it wishful thinking, boundless optimism, cockeyed dreams, honest mistakes, whatever you like. <\/p>\n

Barring tsunamis, general strikes, world wars, or asteroid strikes, you will have the novel in your hands on July 12. I hope you like it.<\/p>\n

The dragons are coming. Prepare to dance.<\/p>\n

And hey… thanks for waiting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
