In my latest Publishers Weekly column, I dig into the meat of the production on my forthcoming short story collection With a Little Help. In short it’s going well, but the book-tour put a major crimp in it, as did some bad assumptions on my part about the critical path:
It turns out that a few tasks were dependent on earlier stages. And Murphy’s Law being what it is, this meant delays. Specifically, as I wrote in March, typesetting delays meant that I couldn’t get into final cover designs and proofing, nor could I get into prototyping for the limited edition hardcovers. The sound editing couldn’t be done until the sound recording was done, and some of my readers had other priorities that took precedence (such as paying work!). In hindsight, I should have taken notice that the two tasks with the largest number of dependencies were also the tasks that required the most work from my collaborators.
Now, though, all the critical pieces are in place, and the book is definitely, finally, trembling on the verge of becoming a reality. And, I must say, when the typeset book arrived, it was absolutely glorious and well worth waiting for.

Hey, Austinites! I’m headed your way tomorrow (Thurs) for the next leg of my book-tour. I’ll be reading at BookPeople at 7PM, and then heading to EFF-Austin’s WhuffieFest, a fundraiser/party at Amelia’s RetroVogue and Relics, 2213 South 1st Street in the 78704. I haven’t been to Austin since SXSW 2003, and I can’t wait to get back!
Tonight’s my last night in San Francisco, and it’s the capstone of the Bay Area leg: the Electronic Frontier Foundation fundraiser/party at the 111 Minna Gallery at 7:30. I’m really looking forward to this — a great way to end a fantastic stop in one of the cities of my heart.
After Austin, it’s off to Cary, NC (Saturday) and Chapel Hill, NC (Sunday), then New York and Brooklyn, and finally Toronto, my hometown. Here’s the full tour schedule.
A reminder to fans of the free download: there’s an amazing list of libraries, schools, youth shelters, halfway houses and other worthy institutions that are looking for donations of copies of the book. If you liked the ebook and want to thank me, the best way to do that is to donate a copy to one of them.
