Well, if you’ve been checking out your local Barnes & Noble for BAD BOYS AHOY! you’re probably wondering when they’ll have the book on the shelves.
Fact is, don’t hold your breath. 
(< - holding breath)
Due to a human error on the part of someone at BN, they're listing BBA in their computers as a Feb. 28th release, so the brick and mortar stores presently don't have any plans to put the book out before then. To say my editor and Kensington's publisher is not thrilled is a huge understatement, as you can probably imagine. They're working hard to get it fixed, but since the glitch is in the BN computer system and nowhere else, they're having to wait for someone at BN to fix the problem. My editor asked me to assure everyone that Kensington is doing all that they can to rectify the situation.
In the meantime, BBA is on shelves in most Borders and Waldens stores across the country. Your local independent bookstore might have it, too. On Amazon.com beneath the “add to cart” button is a spot to type in your zip code and it will pull up a list of the Borders stores near you that have BBA on the shelves right at this very moment.
Giant thank yous to anyone who drives out of their way to pick up the book. I really, really appreciate it. Also, for you ebook readers, BBA is available as an ebook on Amazon and will eventually be available for download from the Kensington book site.
In other news, my editor loves THE STRANGER I MARRIED as is. No edits or revisions. :yay:
Argh that must have made you want to :whip:
