If everything goes according to plan (and the publisher - confidential at the moment until the final agreements are signed - fulfills his commitments) it should be up on Amazon by the end of November. Anvil of Necessity (cover art at the moment is a saw-backed bayonet stuck through a Rising Sun flag) will be out in January 2007.

If you can't get hold of a copy, let me know and we'll sort something out
Is there any chance we could get our hands on a signed copy?

Have a very nice day.

I'm sure that can be arranged somehow. There are several routes we can do it by.

The TBO being published, by the way, differs slightly from the original on-line version. Nothing seriously material, just cleaned up and some of the passages revised to improve the flow.

I think I'm going to be getting two signed copies - one for myself and one as a Christmas present for my Uncle.

I'd be more than willing to pay a premium for signed copies of the novels... been keeping up with it for a while now and would love to show my support for the series.

There wouldn't happen to be a hardcover version, would there?

Chewie - You told me that Home of the Brave 9 would be out soon, but you didn't say this soon!

Edit - Make that a two for one!
