Nope. As mentioned, Jim was SF editor at Dell (which had an on-again/off-again relationship with SF) and editing Joan when they began dating. After Dell, he founded his own imprint called Bluejay Books. Bluejay went under when changes in US tax laws caused his principal backer to pull out. These days, he's a senior editor at Tor, and ironically is Vernor's editor.

Well, hopefully with Tor doing the entire Tor.com thing, they'll be able to get her backlist into e-book form, or at least put some of her short stories up online. I have most of the TPB reprints (now sadly out of print again, it seems), but it would be nice to have e-versions to point people at when I recommend her works.

We can hope. The last I heard, Macmillan (Tor's US parent) was in the process of digitizing Tor's entire catalog, but I have no idea where they are in the process or what release schedules might be.

And a new book would be nice, should she finish up the forthcoming "Ladysmith" (which Amazon.ca listed with a possibly overoptimistic 2013 release date, last I checked) any time soon, though given the accident I'd read that she'd been in and all, it'll be understandable if there's a long delay.

She was in the accident in 2002, and supposedly recovered enough to begin writing again in 2007, but it wouldn't surprise me if she can't write as fast as she once did.
