After many months of complex negotiations involving the language of publishing contracts drafted before e-books became a reality, my agent, Dave Larabell, of The David Black Agency, is close to concluding agreements that will lead to my currently out of print previous books becoming newly available via Open Road.

Such past bestsellers as THE LAST BROTHER, BLIND FAITH and CRUEL DOUBT, as well as cult classics HEROES and THE BIG HORSE should soon be e-books available on all platforms.

As for my one novel, THE DREAM TEAM (Random House, 1972) we’ll have to wait and see, but at the time of its publication The New York Times reviewed it together with a Michael Crichton novel and awarded it higher marks. Obviously, the marketplace had a different opinion.

There remain a few t’s to be crossed and i’s to be dotted with Open Road, but all my nonfiction books should be available electronically early next year.

Not to be pushy, but this seems a good time to remind visitors to this blog that THE SELLING OF THE PRESIDENT, GOING TO EXTREMES, FATAL VISION, THE MIRACLE OF CASTEL DI SANGRO and NEVER ENOUGH remain in print and available for order through independent bookstores, or online through Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

And now only 46 days until publication of THE ROGUE.
