Ok, you have to know something is wrong when I fail to mention that Tim Powers new novel, Three Days to Never, will be published as a signed limited edition by Subterranean Press. Well, nothing is wrong, things are actually going quite well.
As you may know, Clarkesworld Books is my night job. I have a wife, two kids, and a mortgage to pay and the bookstore just doesn’t take care of all that yet. I’ve spent the last two years working in a day job that was a frustrating dead end for me. I just put an end to that and took a new job as Technology Director for a private K-12 school about an hour away from here. This all happened in the last week, so I’ve been a little distracted. (apologies to those of you expecting emails)
We’re going to have to move in a few months, so instead of carrying thousands of books, I’d like to clear out some inventory. I’ll be sure to post here once I figure out how I’ll be doing that.
In the meantime, I should mention that Joshua Palmatier has agreed to sign copies of The Skewed Throne when it’s published by DAW in January. Check it out!

A new Tim Powers novel! Holy crap. Thanks for the heads-up!
And I’m itching to make a Clarkesworld purchase, as a reward for finishing up my novel revisions for Five Star… Let me know if you have anything in your inventory you wanna get rid of (I’m already planning on getting a signed copy of ANANSI BOYS, if you have any left).
And congrats on the new job! Sounds like it’ll be a huge improvement. Good for you for leaving a bad one.

Thanks! The new job is going to be fun. They actually want to move forward with what they are doing and I’ll get to build the program. I did that at my last job and it was very rewarding.
I’m on a roll. A few minutes ago, I was asked to do an interview with Tim Powers for Subterranean’s newsletter. Now I have to come up with some questions.
Oh and just received more signed copies of Anansi Boys, so I should be good for a few weeks.

Wow — you are on a roll. Good luck with the interview.
Now, I know this is a dumb question, but — are the Gaiman books 1st editions? I just read on his journal that they’re going to another printing already…

The signature page in mine says that’s it’s a signed first edition, specially bound by the publisher.
wyrmadmin
Yes. They only did this with the first edition.
