When is Winifred coming out?

Hi Everybody -
The most common question I'm getting from friends, family and podcast followers is, "when is Winifred going to be available in hardcopy?"

For the past three weeks I've been responding, "three weeks." Unfortunately matters regarding the cover art have still not been resolved. I am told that this week I will be given the choice between two different design ideas, one I submitted and one that my publisher has suggested. Also, there have been a few final editing details to iron out. I was back in Chicago this past weekend and took the time to double check the accuracy of various geographic locations that are described in the novel. I have also been trying to flush out a few typos that were missed in previous drafts.

So, the answer remains, three weeks! I feel pretty comfortable about this timeline now. When I launch the book in hardcopy (and electronic media) I will also release a revamped podcast of the final draft to be available in a weekly serial on Podiobooks, iTunes, and this website. I thank everybody for your support!
