Sorry, non-North American folks, it looks like we're in for another delay. Daring is the 3rd book of the old contract. Furious and Valiant are book 1 & 2 of the next contract. Next contract gives Ace the Worldwide rights from the get go. Training Daze also gave them the worldwide rights, but you've seen how that went. I'm told that Ace is preparing a mod to the last contract to cover all Kris Longknife books and have them go worldwide. I've asked my agent to put a rush on it as soon as it gets to them.
Problem is, the contract mod isn't out of Ace contracting yet and thus, the door is locked for now to worldwide rights. If you think you're bugged by this, I'm right along with you. Why this wasn't done back in April when I told both agent and Ace that I wanted to clear things up and go worldwide for everything shows that the Government Bureaucracy where I worked for 30 years isn't the only place where things go sssllllloooooowwwly.
I'll keep all of you up to date on how this goes.
