I was sitting at home minding my own business on Thursday when the dog started barking because a delivery truck was coming up our driveway. They're common enough nowadays, but this truck had come to deliver something I wasn't expecting for a couple of weeks yet: the first copies of my new novel The Godel Operation. Here it is, 275 pages in trade paperback format. The official publication date isn't until May 4, but if I'm getting copies now they may be trickling into bookstores. Or you can order from Amazon. A billion worlds await . . .
Note: I got the books Thursday and wanted to post this immediately— but then I decided that people might take it more seriously if I didn't make my big announcement on April 1.

Smart move holding off until April 3!
I've never posted before, but I became totally immersed in A DARKLING SEA and use a brief excerpt from it when I teach a summer school class to elementary school kids called ALIEN WORLDS in which they create an imaginary star system, its planets; then choose a world to evolve life on; choose one creature and evolve it into sapience after which they have to create culture and tools and language and myth...etc. But there are not many believable "lobster aliens" out there to use as examples! Thank you and know that your work is doing more than inspire readers; but inspire the imaginations of young people!
Sincerely,
Guy Stewart
