Received email from Infrapress this morning. They have signed deals to reprint three of F. Paul Wilson’s books:

An Enemy of the State
Healer
Wheels within Wheels

and will be publishing their first original book, Never Seen by Waking Eyes by Stephen Dedman this August. I’m particularly looking forward to this one.
