Hi all,
Thanks to all of you, 86 people have pre-ordered 103 copies of A White Rose! My deepest and most sincere thank you to everyone. I know it's cliché, but it's also true - this book would not happen if it weren't for all of you. Thank you!
Also, if you hadn't seen it, Donna Liquori interviewed me and did a nice write up in the Times Union. It's behind a pay wall, but if you have TU+ then you can read it (it's also in the print edition, for those who are local and got yesterdays paper):

I'm going to keep you all in the loop from here on out. I'm beginning conversations with a couple of publishers, and we'll see where that goes. My hope is that you have a physical copy in your hands by early fall, but it may get pushed back until Christmas. I respect that you put your hard-earned money up for this, and so I want to get it to you as soon as possible, but I also respect your money enough to have this done right, so I thank you in advance for your patience.
For the time being the book will still be available for pre-order, and will remain so until a decision is made with regards to the publishers. If you'd like to contact me directly with any questions, my e-mail is BHuskie@aol.com and my phone number is 518-275-8947 (you can also text).
Thank you all again!
Brian
