Statement from Richard Chizmar:

I've spent the past few weeks writing a novella with Stephen King. An amazing experience and so much fun. It will be published soon as a standalone hardcover.
(Please don't ask for any more details because I ain't telling yet!)

Wow. Very intrigued.

Wonder if the CDCC will get a full days advance or just a short window?

If it's signed by King, then it'll be a short window, I think. Luckily I have the 28th off from work and some gift certificates saved up...

Tuesday the 28th is trade announcement. Going to be a lot of strain on the website because Entertainment Weekly is "breaking" the news.

If there was going to be a signed edition that probably wouldn't happen until the following week!

I like the sound of "If"....it beats "no" by a mile!! LOL!

Is Brian's response to the joke about ordering the "announcement" likewise a joke, or is that actual information, as in the announcement on February 28 is actually about a printed edition of the novella collaboration between King and Chizmar? Just curious, because I'm assuming there is more to this story than just the announcement of the collaboration. I'm curious if there might be anything else to it; as some have speculated, perhaps this has something to do with the new Hulu series. I'm thinking -- wishfully, not based on anything -- maybe there might be additional collaborations between King and other writers on future short works. I'm also wondering if this will be available in bookstores in a mass capacity -- perhaps King might be modelling a set of novellas a la Patterson's BookShots?
