That was hilarious, m'dear! The publisher rep said this is planned at 1008 pages, so rather than a novella, it's going to be LONG, I think. Despite his blog, they seem to think it will come out in the fall; they have a beginning, middle, and end of the manuscript. September 30 is the onsale listed right now. WHEE!

(You could tell who the nerds in the room were; we spontaneously applauded.)
