Neither hide nor hair

MS Press has generally been quite competent and pleasant to work with, but I’m not very happy with them right now. My book is due to be on shelves in 9 days (2/5, baby!), but do you think it’s mentioned on their web site? Noooo, of course not. There’s no “Robichaux” in the author list, and searching for “secure” turns up three books, none of which are mine. My original editor is out on parental leave, but his replacement has promised to investigate.
Why should you care? Well, until they get the MS Press page for the book up, I have no sample chapters to post here. That means you have two choices: be a trusting soul and buy the book sight unseen, or wait for the samples. Personally, I prefer the first option, but I realize that not everyone likes to buy on faith alone. I’ll have the samples up this week, even if I have to make them myself.
