bits of book news

swan_towerI'll use my MNC icon, because two of the three have to do with that book.
First of all, the website for Chapters (Canadian book chain) now lists Midnight Never Come for sale, with a release date of June 9th. Amazon, though, has yet to post it.
Second, I got a proof copy of the front cover today, and it is indeed very pretty. They appear to have decided to do the title in gloss rather than foil, while the gloss on the floral pattern may or may not go away. The color is a lot richer than it seemed on the screen.
And thirdly, I finally have some concrete news about the intended reissue of Doppelganger and Warrior and Witch. The intent is to put them both out in August of next year, with a new cover for Doppelganger (to make it match W&W better), slightly different cover detailing for both, and -- perhaps the biggest change -- new titles! (I'm not positive yet what those will be; I'm waiting to see if my suggestion goes over or not.) The idea is to make them look more obviously related, since there's frankly nothing on the cover of W&W as it stands that tells you it's connected . . . until you read the back cover and get a giant spoiler.
Okay, back to work.

1) They're not certain when the Fall 2007 issue is going to print. They have started the layout.
2) She couldn't tell me off the top of her head if your story was in there or not, but I hope it is.
