Okay, this one's got me puzzled. A few years ago, I wrote an "urban fantasy" trilogy for Angry Robot Books. I didn't know that urban fantasy meant vampires and werewolves, so I wrote about a high-functioning autistic actuary who accidentally summons a demon. Hijinks ensue and he comes out of it as what he's always wanted to be: a costumed crimefighter whose superpowers come from a wisecracking demon assigned to help him.

The series was called To Hell and Back and although I thought it was pretty skookum, it didn't resonate well with people who expected vampires and werewolves. But those who like their cosmology mixed with a hefty dose of ironic humor said nice things about the books.

They still sell a few copies a week but I figured that was the end of that. Now I see that Penguin Random House, who distribute AR books in the US and Canada, have apparently prepared a teachers guide to the middle book, Costume Not Included.

This has only happened to me once before, when Maxwell Macmillan published a teachers guide to my first novel, Fools Errant. It contained questions about the text that even I couldn't answer.

I'm assuming the PRH teachers guide listing is a mistake by someone in the cataloguing department. I tried following a link to order a copy of the guide and ended up at the Amazon listing for CNI itself.
