Marked books
Thanks for submitting Heat of the Night and On The Prowl! I have approved both submissions and made minor changes to the publication data by adding the dollar sign to the price field (as per our Help pages mentioned above) and changing the page count to match the data in OCLC. Keep in mind that Amazon.com derives much of its data from pre-publication information submitted by the publishers and the page count is usually a little off compared to what the printed book contains. I have also added 4 novellas to On the Prowl, so we should be in good shape there.
As far as the 3 Marked books that you submitted go, I am not quite sure what to do with them. According to the author's Web site, they will be published by Tor/Forge starting in April-June 2009 and the titles are apparently placeholders that will be presumably changed prior to publication. So much can change between now and mid-2009 that I hesitate to add them to the database, especially since the titles will be different. What would you suggest? TIA! Ahasuerus 19:46, 2 Feb 2008 (CST)
- Interesting problem! I don't think we've had such advance notification of a pseudonym of an author already here before... BLongley 07:37, 3 Feb 2008 (CST)
- Since I haven't heard from you on a while, I will reject the submissions and we will revisit the issue when the titles appear on Amazon.com and other usual suspects :) Ahasuerus 00:08, 12 Feb 2008 (CST)
