As you have read here, His Robot Wife: A Great Deal of Patience will be available 9-9-17. It is already available for pre-order at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and iBooks. I had always been under the impression that Smashwords has a pre-order system, as they allow pre-orders through them to other retailers (like B&N and iBooks), but they don’t. So, if you prefer to purchase your ebooks through Smashwords, just remember to get it on September 9th.
Also, for those who are interested, there will be a paperback edition sold through Amazon, on or shortly after 9-9-17. I don’t have a price yet, but I suspect it will be about $6. I’ll post the price and other info when I have it.

Wes,
Smashwords has a page describing how to do pre-orders: https://www.smashwords.com/preorder.
Can “A Great Deal Of Patience” be set up for pre-order this way?

Thanks, Moe. I did know of that article. It explains how writers can set up preorders through Smashwords for other booksellers, but customers of Smashwords can’t preorder books through their online storefront.
Ok. I guess we will all need a great deal of patience until September 9th! 🙂
