671586 Tim,

The books will go to distribution on October 7 and should be available on Amazon on October 15.

I'll give you 2 little tricks for being the first to get books. On Amazon, if you search for the ISBN, you can find books before the engine has them cached. A Demon Awaits is 0-9767788-2-3. (you want to enter it without the dashes).

The second secret is that I have a deal with a bookstore in my hometown. They get the very first signed copies of my books and you can order them there before you can order them anywhere. The store is Bev Loves books (508)763-5503.

CJ

1522041 So, if you're expecting the proof tomorrow, I imagine that means you're still on target for the October 15 release date. Or does that mean we can get copies earlier? (Hint hint.)
