I recieved an e-mail from Amazon.com this morning informing me that Metrognomes. is now a part of their inventory. I checked Barnes & Noble, and they have it listed as well. This is much earlier than expected, which is great! Amazon actually lists an October 4 release date. iUniverse asked me not to do any real marketing work until I recieved my author copies and the book was listed in major book stores. I should get my author copies within the next week or so. This is terrific news, considering it wasn't expected to hit the big stores until some time between November 21 and January 2. Did I mention what a great Christmas present this book will make for absolutely everyone? :)
