Blockade Billy, hmmmm

[kingricefan]

Not a big fan of baseball either, but it is a King story (and a NEW one at that) so I will enjoy it as I did The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. By the way, who exactly is pictured as Blockade Billy? He looks an awful lot like some writer we all know? Is this another fake photo like the 'Richard Bachman' one on Thinner?

A new novella by Stephen King. Well, I am not a fan of baseball and sports, but the promo page makes it sound so tantalizing! Whoever wrote up that promo is very good at word seduction. Lol.

I am now curious to learn more about Blockade Billy. Is this based on an actual person?

LOVE baseball (Go Giants!) and really looking forward to this book--just preordered it today.

Ms.Mod, do you know if this will be released at walmart, amazon, etc? also, $25 dollars seems like a steep price for a book that looks like it is maybe 100 pages or less. i got under the dome for about $20. do you have any idea how many pages it will be? thanks

I'm really hoping I can purchase a copy over here in the UK.

[JayneH]

well, just ordered my copy as the chances of it ever making the shelves over here are pretty remote !!!

Hmm, I'm more interested in the Signed Limited but knowing my luck, I will wait till more info comes out about it before realising I can't afford it and then even worse, realising the Trade Edition has sold out by then.

I'm at a crossroad and I dont know which way to go!

[wally wonder]

be great if the novella turned out to be the beginning of something bigger....like pafko at the wall... another great story and whether or not you enjoy baseball is beside the point is this novella something that just happened?...or is the answer to that in the FAQ somewhere?

I'm looknig forward to the novella, but I really have to ask...

Why does Stephen insist on publishing with Cemetery Dance over and over again?

I'll be buying this from CD because it's the only way to get it, but maybe future projects should be steered away from CD until they actually distribute the projects that are outstanding. I don't know, Like Secretary of Dreams volume 1 deluxe editions (4 years outstanding), Secretary of Dreams volume 2 (2 years outstanding), etc...

CD makes a great book and one certainly can not complain about the quality, but maybe it's time to give another small publisher a chance to make a name
