He's been to Houston at least two of the last three tours and we did get the launch so not expecting it again.  Maybe the fact that there was such a great event and the publisher had to arrange for extra books when the store sold out the morning of will play in our favor.

He's doing that. The betas are currently biting their nails and chugging NyQuil just to be able to sleep.
Ghost Story's not done yet? I figured it be in final edit / layout by now.

No, they pushed back the release date because JB was having some problems doing it to his satisfaction and he'd sooner do it right then fast.  His publisher and all of us fans agree wholeheartedly.  Release date is, I think, somewhere around July 26th, 2011.

I would love him to come to the military bases, Germany in particular since that's where I will be. They often have authors come for book signing events. The USO arranges this sort of thing.
If only they'd done it while I was till in Starnberg or Ansbach!

Is there a chance he might make it again this year? I could not make last year and my friend who was going to get my copy of
Changes signed was too far back in line when the signing session ended.

He did DragonCon this past year.

Unlikely.  He tends not to do the big cons two years in a row.  We should get his signing schedule in the next few weeks, though.  Who knows?

I'm in Dallas, saw JB when he last went through and got him to sign a few books. David Weber was also there and Taylor Anderson. It was great to have some of my favorite authors all together at one place and hear them speak.

Now that he's completed Ghost Story, I think he should relax by coming to NERO Cincinnati.   ;D  We've got an event in a couple weeks.

God, if he even thought about coming here once (yes I know he was here for comic con...stupid expenses) for a reading/interview event somewhere.

Yes he is. :)

Technically, he isn't. :D

He finished writing the book, and it's now in Penguin's flippers, but he still has some revisions to do before the manuscript is complete.

Details details... can't you just let the masses celebrate for JUST A LITTLE before you dash cold water all over our hopes and dreams and fuzzy bunny-rabbit thoughts of Jim actually being DONE for once?

Sheesh.  Meanyheads.

Has Jim ever made it to the UK? If not we'd like to see him here   8) I think we've earned it, after all there's about 10 of us on the mapping thread!  ;D Doesn't matter where I'm sure his UK fans would travel to see him.
