Update: Nerd Inferno Second Printing (Patreon)

Before I got sick I had asked my editor Daniel Chabon at Dark Horse if he could find out what the word was on a new ETA for the second printing of Nerd Inferno, because obviously the book wasn't out on July 3rd as previously scheduled. Daniel got back to me but I didn't see it for a few days.

According to the DH shipping department, the new shipment is scheduled to hit port this week, and delivery to the distributor (Penguin-Random House) will take place mid-late week of the 13th. They're anticipating retailer orders will start to be filled the week of July 20th.

So, fingers crossed, by the end of the month copies of Nerd Inferno will once again be available to retailers and readers. Hopefully customer orders that were canceled will be honored or folks can re-order.

I was hoping to be able to ship a box or two of copies to Arizona for the Nomad Con on the 25th, but that obviously isn't going to happen. If anyone's attending that show and wants to get a copy signed, you'll have to order them locally or online in time to hopefully nab one before the 25th. If copies actually start flowing that week. It'll be a squeaker, if not actually impossible. Sorry about that.

I'm still going to grab some copies at some point to make some signed/sketched available for Patreon backers at the top tiers. The same goes for the Beasts of Burden Omnibus. That will take me a while to deal with because I am so backed up on work between the tour and being sick this week. But when things settle down, copies of Nerd Inferno should be readily available, and I'll be able to grab them when I need them from here on in. I don't see the second printing selling out anywhere as quickly as the first.

Just realized that I should have asked what the print run is on the second run. Duh.

My apologies for the problems some folks have faced in getting hold of a copy and my thanks to everyone who has purchased --or tried to purchase -- a copy. The book has done better than I had hoped. I finally got around to asking Daniel what the print run was, when he got back to me with the numbers I was knocked for a loop. I had a certain number in mind that I was hoping it would sell, the actual number was close to twice that. So, I'm blown away, not just by the response but the demand. I have never had a book sell this well this quickly. Thanks, folks.
