I'm kind of ticked that Black Tide Rising is not available in paperback yet. I can never choose to buy something in kindle format or paperback. I bought the rest of the series in paperback and BTR is only available in hard cover right now on amazon. First world problems.
How did everyone feel about BTR by Gary Poole?

The paperback release is typically a year after the hardcover release, been that way for years. It can be longer if they have a trade paperback release in the middle.
For reference, Gary Poole is John's dedicated editor/nag, he's also his landlord :-) So he visits John every Wednesday to try to figure out where John is in his writing cycle, help with ideas, and otherwise try to encourage John's writing productivity, in addition to curating the anthologies (since the next anthology is being put together now, along with some standalone novels in the universe).
ETA: The author who wrote the cover story for the anthology, about the cheerleaders, happens to be the real life helicopter pilot behind the Kacey Bathlick character ;-)
