Things are not moving as quickly as I would like.

The trade edition of The Unwelcome Warlock is now scheduled for April 2012. The e-book should be out somewhat sooner.

The advance edition for donors — well, I don’t have a date (it won’t be in October), but it should be well before April. I’m sorry it’s taking so long. Wildside’s move to a new office seems to have thrown their entire schedule back about two to three months.

In other Ethshar news, Tales of Ethshar is under contract but not scheduled. Wildside and I have a verbal agreement for Ithanalin’s Restoration, but no contract as yet. And while I still have no definite plans for another serial, I was doing some plotting work on The Sorcerer’s Widow earlier today. (Azraya of Ethshar and Ishta’s Playmate are also candidates for serialization, if I decide I don’t want to do Widow next.)

Incidentally, my post office box is going away next month — it’s gotten so little use over the past year that I can’t justify the annual fee anymore. I’ll be making other arrangements for streetmail.

I’ll try to keep you posted on any developments.
