I wonder those of us waiting for traditional paper copies may have a slightly longer wait? The hard copy release date estimate on Amazon is the same date as the Kindle version.

I don't think anyone knows her real name. [Because I cant publicly support knowing her real name without outing those who told me, I will bow out of this discussion. But I do think the book will stand on its own. Many authors, fiction and non-fiction, don't use their real names. Some are the most famous in history. It doesn't detract from the work. I have a feeling this book with be a good one.] Edited August 10, 2019 by S.T. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Hancock Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 If you have something to support the assertion that Leslie Sharp is not her true name it would be important because that is the name she is using in personal contacts and the name which appears with the book...

I agree, and I responded similarly to Jim’s original post as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Brancato Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Maybe I’m crazy. But this unexplained delay in publishing Albarelli’s book A Coup in Dallas is starting to worry me. Why the delay, and the secrecy surrounding that delay? You’d think someone would be interested in publicizing the book than to simply delay.

Larry Hancock Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 You might want to contact the publisher directly and ask about the delay....given that there would likely be contractual and legal issues that might need to be addressed after his passing its even possible it might not be about the book itself.

David Andrews Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Having had a book pre-sale advertised on Amazon before, let me say that you can't lay any casino bets on the accuracy of their release date announcements. Also, November 17 is just a weezy bit too close to the anniversary date, in retail marketing terms. If you see a press release announcing that date for that purpose, then believe it.

My undeclared minor was marketing though that makes me no expert. But this makes perfect sense. The purpose is to sell more books, and, get the information in the book to more people. Who will hopefully spread the word. Sell more books, get the word out to more... Releasing a week before the anniversary helps draw attention to the book. Sending copies two weeks before or more to people like Jim DiEugenio, S. T. Patrick, Rob, maybe Don Jeffries and more might be a good idea as well. Any of them mention it might help sales, and getting the word out about what's in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Andrews Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) There is nothing that will turn your bowels to water like seeing your first book's release date flip-flop around on Amazon. Soon after it changes there, it will change on other sites (Barnes & Noble, Waterstones, etc.) like dominoes falling. I have no idea how that info is passed around, and was too anxious to ask the publisher. If I remember right, it was announced the second time much later than the first time, and then unexpectedly moved closer to the first announced date, which had passed.

Denny Zartman Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I pre-ordered it a month ago. Hopefully it will make its November 2020 release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
