I haven’t posted to my blog in a very long time. I’ve been in a kind of limbo, waiting to see what would happen with Invisible Streets, the final book in the City Series and also working on an as-yet untitled manuscript. Since Scorch City was released, I’ve been in a strange (to me) situation where I’ve been writing without a contract and experiencing the doubt/anxiety of wondering if Invisible Streets would be published. I spent very little time blogging or doing other social media because I felt like I needed to be focusing on the actual writing and didn’t feel like I had much to say until I had validated what I’d been doing with a new contract.

Anyway, the good news is that my agent sent Invisible Streets to an editor named Mark Krotov at Overlook Press who was/is really excited about it. I’ve had a number of great conversations with him about the book and what needs to be done to get it into shape. We are being pretty aggressive time-wise and it is slated to come out in July 2014. I’ll post the exact date once I know. I’m really psyched to be with Overlook and to be working with Mark. I think it’s a great situation for me and for Invisible Streets.

In other publishing news, the French edition of The Vaults, titled Les Catacombs, will be out in late November from 10/18. That would mean that all the foreign editions of The Vaults will have been published with the exception of the Romanian edition, about which I know absolutely nothing.

I’m slowly getting back into the swing of things in social media. I have a new twitter account here. My previous account was hacked and I deleted it, so I’m starting from scratch. At the time of this writing I think I have three followers.

Finally, the NBA starts on Wednesday. Playoffs or bust for the Wizards. Welcome to the team Marcin Gortat!
