Danita L asked Stephanie R. Sorensen:

Hi Stephanie - I used to own a bookstore and I do book recommendations for the library here in Bozeman, Montana. I just recommended Toru: Wayfarer Returns for purchase and wanted to double-check on the publication dates. The paperback edition is shown as being published in January, 2016 and the Hardcover in February, 2016. I see the same dates on Amazon so I am assuming those are the correct dates?

Stephanie R. Sorensen Hi Danita,

Thank you, and I appreciate you for recommending "Toru" for your library!

On the dates, well, funny you should ask. I intended February 16 for all three versions, but this first time self-publisher got mixed up on some of the terminology for different kinds of launch dates/available dates and managed to put January 16 as whatever makes it go live instead of pre-launch printable on the paperback. Oops. So in my head it is February for all, but that would be an accidental alternative fact. Use the dates the Ingram and Amazon machine gives you. :-)

I'm hoping to have Toru II out at least in ARC form by April, but I may delay full launch a few months to see if I can get a few pre-launch editorial reviews on the scoreboard. Watch this space for updates!
