I CAN PREORDER YOU ON AMAZON NOW!!!!!!!

Yuppers (I'm looking forward to actual cover art being there, etc. at some point). However, I will note that buying at a brick and mortar bookstore helps my numbers more (vagaries of old book tracking mechanisms that I can't explain without doing more homework than I have time for now.). And, buying at an independent bookstore helps local sellers stay in business, too.

So, yes, you can pre-order on Amazon; but my sales numbers will be happier if you pre-order/purchase at a real bookstore (whatever may be your preferred flavor) instead. :)

Duly noted! Brick and mortar store purchase it will be! Out of curiosity, do you have a preferred independent bookstore these days?

[swords_and_pens]

None over any other, really. It's the idea of supporting the independent bookstores that means the most, I think.
