I signed up today and got nothing. It's not a weekend and it was during business hours. Before lunch in fact.

Can someone post the link to the FREE eBook?

I wonder if it's a deal of someone making the site live early & they aren't ready or something? I see there's no mention of anything in the news on the official publisher site http://www.tor-forge.com

Of course Macmillan (formerly Holtzbrinck) does little right when it comes to ebooks so who knows, we may not hear anything for weeks or it could be tomorrow or they could cancel things before they get started.

That would be a PR disaster for them. If nothing arrives after a week, I think I'll be contacting Gene Wolfe. I bet he has a little "pull" with them, and can help to explain the importance of following up on their promises.

Pestering an author over missteps by their publisher is not the best idea in the world. (Quite the opposite, in fact.)

This happens to be a relatively new area for Tor. Their website had been maintained as a sideline by a couple of their editors. I'm am not surprised if this process has a few teething problems.

I know various of the Tor folks, and will ask a few questions if nothing seems to be happening for a while. Meanwhile, I suggest folks relax. What's next? Throwing tantrums and holding your breath till you turn blue because you didn't get your free ebook?

I thought we were grownups here.

If I don't hear something by Monday, I'm going to rebuke Tor in a front page post. The really neat thing about our front page is that it's also a RSS feed, one which is seen by quite a few people in the publishing industry.
