According to my publisher, Permuted Press, who is distributed by Simon & Schuster, my omnibus edition trilogy, which comes out this Tuesday, is already on back-order, meaning they had to order more books for places where I have book signings. My question: How can you have books on back-order when they aren't even available yet? Does this mean bookstores ordered more copies than Permuted Press/Simon & Schuster printed, and if so, is that a good thing? This is my first book to be marketed and released in brick & mortar stores, so I'm sort of a newbie at this. Thanks.
