It's here, it's here! (Points of Departure)

Points of Departure, Pat Wrede's and my Liavek collection, comprising all of our original Liavek stories plus a new one from Pat and a new collaboration from both of us, is officially out! Or, as the kids apparently say these days, Live for Sale! If you have already pre-ordered, you should be seeing your book soon. If you haven't but want the book, here's the link to the Diversion Books page, which in turn contains links to other retailers:

If you want a paper book rather than an e-book, both Barnes and Noble and Amazon can oblige you with one.

I am seriously impressed and deeply pleased with Diversion Books, which did a stupendous job at every stage.

ETA: In comments, Brooks says that his local independent bookstore is able to order it for him, so if you prefer to support local independent stores, ask them about it.

This is my first publication since 2008, which should give me pause for serious reflection; but, on beginning to reflect, I think I'll go clean the bathroom instead.

Other people find my shelving "system" somewhat opaque. Most don't really understand the "Minneapolis authors" section.

A large part of my library was seriously randomized a couple of years ago, when a couple of teenagers moved a bunch of books around to make room for my girlfriend's stuff. I had expected that they would move shelves of books, retaining their order. I still find it extremely stressful to have to search for books from those areas. They didn't even keep together the groups of books by single authors; things were just shoved in wherever they would fit. And though the intention was to make room for more books, they took sections that had been double-shelved and single-shelved everything. <*gritting teeth*> I will never again allow anyone to reorganize my library without some very clear instructions.
