North American rights to A. Lee Martinez's next two novels have been bought by TOR Books. They are The Automatic Detective about a bad robot trying to make good who finds himself in the middle of a kidnapping plot and up to his opticals in mutant lowlifes and little green wiseguys; and Nessy's Castle, in which after a dark sorcerer dies, his short, furry housekeeper finds herself in charge of the castle full of cursed residents, an evil wizardess, and a troublesome door that should never be opened."
Just pulled this off their website...sounds good, and legitimate, to me. But, I am NOT the expert here.
