Meet Richard Chizmar!

Is now a good time to volunteer for some weekend hours a couple times a month to help you get caught up?

Try to work for books... It's win-win.

I am sure it is very stressful keeping these secrets. Just to help you out you can tell me and I promise not to tell anyone.

I actually try to avoid talking about and teasing about the unannounced stuff because I still have ANNOUNCED projects to get done, and I don't want anyone thinking, "Why aren't they working on XYZ, which I already ordered?" All of the announced stuff IS being worked on, it's just that we also need to have new stuff rolling, too, or we'll have nothing to publish next year.

That said, some of the unannounced stuff is SO cool. Once we're a little more caught-up on our list for the first half of the year, we'll announce a few more of the 2012 books!

I realize my post above was rude. You could feel free to fire me after the day is over. I might not quit....LOL!

[bsaenz24]

Even better!! Can I get hired for one day? I can come in and make sure there are copies of the unannounced projects list and then quit??? Of course, I'll need my own office for the day. Oh and a 4 hour lunch.

hhmmm....where might one find this list. I mean, just for conversation sake.

Well, it's right on the... hey, wait a second, you almost tricked me there!

There is a white board, but honestly at this stage in the game there probably isn't much on there that you guys don't already know about. We only list projects that are either at the printer / case makers, or are ready for the printer on the board.

Yeah, there are only one or two books that aren't generally known on the whiteboard at this point.

The list of the 50+ unannounced books we're working on for 2012 and 2013 -- including several huge surprises -- is not on there.

CD no longer uses a white board for unannounced titles. They have these on a computer these days. I know because I hacked into it a while back, boy they have some nice stuff coming up!

Brian had mentioned one once.

I don't know what whiteboard you're talking about.... I think Brad is just making things up.

Mebbe this one, mebbe not

That, bookworm. It's just another sneaky way to get you to spill what's on the whiteboard.
