Amazon.com no longer carrying Tor Books

Holy crap! See this coverage from The New York Times.
Tor is the publisher of the current North American editions of my novels Golden Fleece, Far-Seer, Fossil Hunter, Foreigner, End of an Era, Frameshift, Factoring Humanity, FlashForward, Calculating God, Hominids, Humans, Hybrids, Mindscan, and Rollback, all of which are still in print.
This really, really sucks. I’m not pointing any fingers here (as Patrick Nielsen Hayden, the director of SF&F Publishing for Tor has said, “Tor is part of Macmillan, but I have no more idea what’s actually going on than you do. And yes, I’m not thrilled with that fact”), but it is an awful state of affairs.
Update: Letter from Macmillan’s CEO.
