Any idea when the schedule for the blog tour will be decided? Can I link the pre-order page from my blog now or should I wait for the pre-sale to end?

Got your order and added it to my shipping list :)

No, I don't know when the schedule for the blog tour will be decided. You'll have to ask Jean or Jason.

Put up the link now, please. And make a note on your blog that the presale is going on now.

All members of RotS should be automatically on the list and should be getting some sort of contact. This is the person for whom those of you willing to do articles, interviews, and 10-lists are doing them.

Welcome to the first day of official publication of ROTS!!!!

I have not been contacted about the blog tour yet.

However, I am basically making this Return of the Sword month at my blog. Starting today, each story will get a write up with links to the purchasing site.

Not that my two readers don't already know about RotS. lol

Cheers,
Bryan

Very cool, Bryan :) and I've prodded Jean about contacting you for the blog tour. She's a bit behind but trust me, she WILL be contacting you.

Never meddle in the affairs of a wizard unless you are soggy and hard to light!

I've looked at enough of the stories to know you don't have much to worry about. Not every story is going to kick my ass the way Bill's did, but I haven't seen anything that seemed bad.

A great anthology is like watching the highlight reels from a whole season of a favorite sport. The editor has picked the best plays and every one is a home run, slam dunk, whatever. Not all of them are grand slams, but every one hits the mark. There are stories that make the whole book worth the price of admission. One is enough, but you've really hit the motherlode when you find a book with several.

I'm really looking forward to finding the next one in RotS. The challenge is actually going to be pacing the reviews.
