Surprise

[meteordust]

It was literally a minute to seven, and I was on my way out of Kinokuniya, when I glanced aside at the display rack by the door. DEXTER BY DESIGN, the cover said, and I had to stop and think about whether that was the new one, because the titles can be hard to keep straight, all those Ds everywhere. But a glance at the blurb confirmed it, and my inner voice did an "eeeee!" because I'd have sworn it wasn't due out for another month or two. I picked up a copy and marched back in, plunking my cash on the counter just before it closed.

Dexter was not actually in my designs for this weekend - I'm only halfway through Cherryh's Regenesis, and I have so much else to do - but. Shiny. I love the Orion trade editions, especially the spot gloss on the matte covers, and eeeee! New Dexter!
