- Part of the
Cemetery Dance Book Club 3.0. Page description during December 2009 said, "...when it is published next year." Now it says the more enigmatic "when it is published." So, maybe we should it expect it in 2010, hopefully. Originally announced as having Kealan Patrick Burke in it, but that was changed to James A. Moore after Kealan requested the book not be put on hiatus because of a problem he ran into. I hope we'll see Kealan's work someday, somewhere else soon.
