Each of the first two trades have gone to mass market
paperback
The third will in August

in September he has a fifth trade hitting the stores, _Too

I haven't seen this quick activity from Tor in the five or so

And, yes, he's cross-genre: humor/noir/fantasy.
When he wrote it, he was just trying to have some fun
writing. That's what he told me and others. I know folks in
his original writers group (still in it) and they love
him.
