You didn't mention anything about ebook formats? Don't they have their own ebook store (I'm thinking Star Trek books here)?

Some editing yes, but mostly the reason for the lengthy time span is because there are only a certain number of spaces in book stores, so they need to find a slot that's not already filled by John Grisham, Janet Evanovich, and other established bestsellers. Plus it takes time to get the marketing machine cranked up.

Simon and Schuster/Touchstone and my foreign publishers all have the electronic rights, so I'll be working with them to figure out how to do the e-book releases.
