Release Date?

Nice taste of Dr. Sleep at the end of the Wind Through the Keyhole audiobook. I tried squeezing on the disc to make more come out but it didn't work. So I guess I'll have to wait. When ever it comes out it will be well worth the wait.

You'd think they'd heard of laser printers by now.

Aw ''/ but no problem, the fact that is very possible to have, again, 2 books in a year, is fantastic. Can't wait

Can you give us any information regarding the reason for the delay? I totally understand, sh*t happens.

Steve needs more time for editing as he doesn't feel it's anywhere near ready for publication. He has a number of projects he's working on so would not be able to accomplish that within the deadline they would need in order to get it ready for production for a January release.

Would anyone care to confirm or deny this? I don't know if it's genuine or not.

Thanks.

Highly unlikely because of the publication date they have listed as well as misspelling the title, but will check. Very typical of misinformation being given out there.

Msmod, I understand if this is fake, yet if it's from a recognized professional publisher, how could they make a mistake like this?

Have been playing phone tag with Steve's foreign rights agent so still don't have a final answer for you, however, it is more likely that this is old information from when it was first thought that Doctor Sleep might be coming out in January in the US. That is one reason why we don't post every single thing that is out there on the internet about Stephen just to be the first ones to have it on-line. It creates a lot of confusion for fans and extra work for me. I don't have as much of a problem with doing that when the change happens after we have announced something that we legitimately thought to be accurate but then due to unforeseen circumstances have to change it. That happens but we try to hold off until we have the final word so that you can count on the information you get on this site to be accurate. We may not always be the first to announce, but you've got a lot better chance at knowing that what you read here is something you can count on.
