So, to keep it simple:
The novel A Transient is
out of print. It has an ISBN (10-digit form, 0-9674300-0-3) and is noted in the
U.S. Copyright Office as being copyrighted 1988 and 1999. I’ve considered doing
a new edition of it, with added material, but this is not specifically in the
works right now.
The novel The Folder Hunt
has an ISBN (13-digit form, 978-0-9674300-1-0) and the release date of June
2012. Some promotional information on it is here. (A blog entry from
May 2012 on it is here.) As I said
some weeks ago here, under the subhead
“Caveat
about another book,” a WordPress pdf, dated March 1, 2014, that alleges
to contain the book is not mine and is,
to all appearances, fraudulent. [Update 5/11/15: The same can be said about any other supposed pdfs for The Folder Hunt you see in search results, whatever their date.] The book is not in such a state as can be
in one pdf—because of mechanicals that contribute to its production and the
fact it has been advertised as print-only from the beginning (and is
print-on-demand).
The short novel Professional
Help, which has been listed in Google Books, is currently not
available. A statement about it was posted in June 2012.
The book on the 2007-2010 lawsuit Bauer
v. Glatzer et al., which has an early title Second Thoughts and another title for a later version, The
Representative, has been made available online as a public service. A
version can be seen here. (For a blog
entry on the lawsuit, see here. For a
pdf of the court decision involving me, see here.
Note two errors in the decision: the judge says I had a blog, which wasn’t true
in 2008 or before; and she refers to the Turf
v. Bergen Record case as from 1955, when it was from 1995.)
I made a statement on the memoir The Temps; this book
is not thereby announced as available, in full, at any foreseeable time to the
public. Parts may be made available, including in not-far-off months.
As for the project The Revenant, this
has a release date of June 2015 as included in a BowkerLink listing. Some
information on it is included in the announcement on The Temps just noted, and also here. Further information on it will be released when appropriate, and the
book may be available in parts depending on consumer interest. [Update 4/2/15: The release date of The Revenant has been postponed to a date uncertain in 2016. Update 1/19/16: BowkerLink information had inadvertently included a release date of Jan. 1, 2016, when I had only meant it to be "2016." This has been changed to Dec. 31, 2016, in view of the fact that the actual release date for 2016 is still uncertain, and may be changed again. Update 8/28/16: Publication of this book has been canceled. Further information is to come.]
