I am happy-dancing thrilled that Small Beer Press will publish a reprint edition of Solitaire early next year.
Those who know Small Beer will understand why I’m so happy: Gavin Grant and Kelly Link have built a wonderful, writer-friendly business, a high-powered critical reputation, and a list of books for readers of all ages and persuasions whose common connection is a love of story. I’ve known them for a long time (sf isn’t a very big club, really), and have long wanted a chance to work with them. I’m honored by their support of Solitaire (which, for those who know the SB imprints, is coming out as a Small Beer book, not a Peapod Classic).
Want to know more? Check out Small Beer on Facebook and their most excellent blog.
So: a new edition, a new cover, and a new phase of life for Solitaire. I’m delighted. Tonight I’ll drink a large beer to Small Beer (grin): for now, I think I’ll go have another cup of tea.
Enjoy your day.
Wonderful… congratulations!
That is fantabulous! See? Good things do happen to great people.
Congrats! Small Beer will bring the book to a whole new group of readers — I sort of envy folks discovering it for the first time.
Wow. Ever since Reagan, when was the last time you heard of a book coming back into print??? Woohoo!
Yay!
It’s already on my list as re-readable. I’ve done so once since I got it two years ago. I like traveling into that world and viewing the ramifications. Now it’s re-buyable, too? And of course the big question, will it be on Kindle or the Apple Tablet or . . .?
Congratulations, that is awesome news! I wasn’t aware it was out of print as I remember some online bookshops stocking Solitaire – but well this ensures it continues to be available to new fans and readers of your work 😀
Is it out of order to make a quip about Kellies Ruling the World? hehe
Kelley that’s awesome what a great way to start a Monday!
I must have some copies so say will you when they’ll be available.
You must be over the moon, be careful where you tread don’t like trip over anything while your head is in the clouds.

Congratulations! I didn’t know it was out of print – I just bought a new copy for myself for Christmas :).
Hooray! I’m thrilled it will be back in print.
Here’s a (not terrific) picture of me inhaling the first edition on my birthday (it was a requested present) in 2002:
