Lesley Ragsdale asked Michael J. Sullivan:

I see that Disappearance of Winter's Daughter has a release date of Dec. 5 listed for the Audible audiobook, but I see nothing about an ebook or print book. Is there a projected release date for that as well?

Michael J. Sullivan Hey Leslie, Yes, there is, but it's a little complicated so late me explain. I have a contract with Del Rey for the Legends of the First Empire books and as part of that contract I can't release any "Elan-based" book while their books are being rolled out. This is what's known as a non-compete. Now they don't own the audio rights so that version could be released at any time and as you noted it was released on December 5th. The RETAIL version of the ebook and hardcover will be in June 2018 (after the release of Age of War which is coming on April 17th. But...we are able to sell the ebooks, trade paperbacks, and hardcovers directly, so if people want those versions NOW, they can get them by ordering from us. Here is a link for direct ordering. Does that make sense? I know it's a bit weird because of the non-compete. Bottom line it'll be available in retail in June, but from us at anytime.
