Advance orders for the signed edition of Rogue are about to close. If you want one, you need to reserve now. You won't be charged until they ship, but there's no "picking one up later." I get signed sheets. Sheets go into books at the bindery. That's it. Dial fast.

Have submitted my revised draft of "Battle's Tide" for the "Clan of the Claw" shared universe. Turtledove, Stirling, myself, Ringo and Nye. Alternate pre-history (Bronze Age).

Imagine a world where the Chicxulub impact never happened, and the dinosaurs continued to evolve, while mammals developed alongside them.

Imagine them at Bronze Age levels of technology, 5 million years ago when the Mediterranean flooded.

When the felinoid mrem must fight the saurian liskash for territory, pitting tribal dance magic against psionics, and tactics against mass.

So when you come across the cheerleading tigers with spears, that's mine.

Specifically, bagpiping, jazz breakdancing, cheerleading six foot tigers with javelins, spears and fighting claws.

Lizard. It's what's for dinner.

With the gracious and expert help of Uncle Hugo's Science Fiction Bookstore, we are starting the advance order for "Rogue."  This is the first hardcover edition, and comes with a tipped in (glued) sheet printed by Baen, and signed by me.  These will be cover price of $24, plus any shipping.  You may pick up your copy at the store for no additional charge if you wish.

Uncle Hugo's is one of the stores monitored by the New York Times Bestseller list, so copies here count toward my sales rank for that.  Just think, you'll be able to tell lesser personages that you correspond, drink beer, or even shoot guns with a New York Times Bestselling author.

In the checkout, you may also mention in the "instructions" how you'd like it personalized, and I'll try do that at the store, when I drive up in September for the release.  I can't promise to get to them all, but will try my best, and of course, I can always handle special defacement at conventions or other personal meetings.

This means you'll have limited edition, personalized proof that a NYTBA actually knows your name, calls you by it, and has something particular to say, not just, "to my good friend," as the cliche goes.  Your inscription might read, "You still owe me a beer from LosCon," or "I like Glocks, too, but I prefer the 1911," or even something cryptic such as, "NOTHING!!!" (You know what that means if you are who it's meant for.)

I'll also try to have some extra goodies on hand for those in the area, and may slip some into the books, time and quantity permitting.

You also get to add yet another rabid right wing, meat-eating, unPC gun nut to the roster of bestsellers.  When Armageddon happens, which authors do you want on YOUR side?

I'm arranging to do a special edition of Rogue, with help from Uncle Hugo's Science Fiction Bookstore, and Baen.

Baen will provide tipped-in sheets (glued in over the title page, printed and nice looking), which I will sign, and personalize.

Uncle Hugo's will take care of the orders and delivery.

Best part:  Cover price, plus shipping.  Available on the release date. 

There will be an order page, and your card will not be charged until they're ready to ship.

There will only be one run.

If you're interested, let me know.

If you've already commented by mail or Facebook, please don't duplicate.

It'll take 50 people to get it going.
