Joys propos'd

Pooh. The Masked City has been pushed back to early December. Ah well, shall have it in time for Christmas.

The new 100 Demons will be out July 7, and Wild Adapter 8 on the 25th. Hesitating over the latter: it's been so long and the yen is so high and I still don't have Reload Blast 2. Things that belong to ten years ago or more in the past grow pale, even at my age.

Speaking of which, my ambit grows narrower. Proved by me bicycling down to the forgotten lands south of Queen on Yonge in search of shoes that fit. Which may have found, but the lovely New Balance boats that support me so beautifully have indeed been redesigned in a narrower make, even if the model number is the same. At least this store had a knowledgeable and patient saleswoman, so in future shoe-buying will require a subway trip. That end of the world is unbikable, even more so than it was five years ago and in spite of useful bike lanes on Adelaide and Richmond forcibly separated from the car lanes by upright spikes. They end at York St, just as construction and trucks force you over to the streetcar tracks. But nice while they lasted.

I am sorry about the book. (Very sorry, believe me - I would have liked it out in October!) But I think the publishers are aiming for the Christmas market.

It's a good reason to release it later; and of course, I *have* read it already. But you know- the object itself is different from pixels on a screen.

Well, if I get a box full of copies from my publisher pre-publication, I promise that one will be heading your way ASAP.

I shall very much look forward to it, when and if.
