First, some news that is about Frances, not me. She has a date set for her book, here. Anybody who is either a young teenager, or sometimes acts like one, should buy it. Anybody who knows any 10-14 year olds should buy them a copy. Anybody who has any kids younger than 10 should buy them a copy for when they are older. If you're an adult, with

Can't preorder the book on Amazon yet though. :(

I think the issue is less to do with the loss of the hat as to what bizarre item of topiary is destined to replace it... Relieved to note that the publisher has gotten their finger out at last.

Not the hat! Nooooooo!

Indeed, we all want to know... why is the hat gone?
Also yay about the book! *grins*

Erm, when did Frances change her name to Hardinge Frances? I really hope that it's just Amazon that has it the wrong way round!

Peculiarly:
Most popular results for: Stephenson, Neal

1. The System of the World ~ Neal Stephenson

All 2 results for: Frances, Hardinge

Sort by:

1. Fly by Night (HB)
~Hardinge Frances

Which suggests that the name is stored both for the individual author, and duplicated against each book. Incorrectly duplicated, in this case.

Man, that hat was history. And now it's history.
