PW starred review for Wake
Woot! Woohoo! We just received our first review for my new novel Wake, and it's a rave!
Publishers Weekly has given Wake a "starred review," their highest distinction: starred reviews denote books of exceptional merit. The review, which appears in the February 23, 2009, edition, says in part:
The wildly thought-provoking first installment of Sawyer's WWW trilogy explores the origins and emergence of consciousness. The thematic diversity -- and profundity -- makes this one of Sawyer's strongest works to date.As my character Caitlin would say, "Sweet!"
(This is my second consecutive starred review in PW; they also gave a star to Rollback.)

So when will we be able to get our hands on a copy?
The official on-sale date in Canada is April 14; in the US, April 7.

The last few books I've wanted to buy were released a week later in Canada than in the US. Is there some special publishing industry reason for this?
Hi, John. Nope, no special reason in general. And, in fact, the dates are a bit rubbery. Penguin Canada will have books printed well before April 14, but they're announcing that as the publication date so that the major media coverage will begin that day.
