"For those of you who aren't sure of the difference between the trade paperback and mass market paperback versions, the trade is the bigger one on the left, and the mass market is the smaller, normal-sized one on the right, the one with the little ribbon-thing at the bottom of the front cover."

Wow.  It's May, already.  Dang, I'm getting too close to my next deadline!  Here, let me distract you with shiny things while I go and write: 

The Master has just come out this month in mass market paperback, and next month Trevan's story will be available in trade paperback when The Cat hits the bookshelves.  Then we'll have a few months to wait (sorry!) until September, when The Storm is released.  That's when all you Rydan fangirls (and fanboys, to be fair) get to find out What Makes Rydan Tick.  (Hint, it's definitely not Casio.  Not sure about Rolex, just yet.) ...Yes, I just sunk low enough to make a watch joke.

Of course, if you speak German, you only have to wait until August, when Der Söhne die Insel is released by RandomHouse.de under their brand-new Penhaligon imprint.  For those that speak Spanish...sorry, I can't seem to get ahold of any information on when or where that version of The Sword will be released in Spain.  Which sucks, because I do want to pimp it for my Spanish-speaking friends.  *sigh*  Ah, well...

Here's hoping your April showers are busy turning into May flowers,
