Twelve Months (blurb'ed & priced on Amazon)

Just Al:
It's possible (I hope) that the comments about his last two books suffering from the "Author's too big to edit" problem convinced the publisher to take a hard look at the manuscript and tell him that multiple changes/cuts are needed. It's also possible that his publisher just has so much in the pipeline that next January is the first open slot they had.

This is my suspicion.
Also, we all may be hoist on the petard of Jim's slower & less-predictable pace:  publishing lead-times have only increased, with the supply-chain problems that occur these days, and their queue likely filled with other works while Jim was chanting a mantra of, "it'll be done when it's done."

You could be right, because the two books did suffer because they should have been one book to begin with...

Overfinch:
I think I'll be waiting an extra 2 or 3 months for it to come down in price after publishing at that rate.
Or going to the library. I'm not a Kindle fan and audio books grate on my nerves.
Good to see movement though

 I also prefer a real book in my hands when I read... However Kindle does have it's uses, so I have an old one for those times.. Like out of print or older books that either aren't available in any other format or the only way they can be gotten at a reasonable price.
