So just to clarify: "The Vimana Incident" will not be available at FC. The release date remains up in the air but it should be out no later than AC.

Basically, I'm lucky just to get one book out at FC since it's one of the best cons for book debuts and "The Linen Butterfly" will be one of about eight other books.

I really wanted to have "Vimana" out by FC since I can't make it to any other cons in the first half of the year but it would cut into sales of "The Linen Butterfly" and it would mean someone else who had their heart set on an FC debut would have to miss out. I've got one already and I don't want to be greedy.

That said, by the time RF rolls around I'll have five books to display. Also, this gives me time to submit my work to reviewers who might require an advance copy (and I intend to send "Vimana" to as many reviewers as I can find).

"The Linen Butterfly" is still a decent book and Kobi's cover art (which will be posted shortly in its more-or-less complete form) is really impressive. I still think it will be well-received if given a fair chance.
