It should - 5th is publication day :) And just checked further - that's the kindle copy, but no paperback showing as yet...

And Annie just told me the 5th is incorrect. Should be the 25th March, so I changed it at her request :)

Thanks Brenda. I ordered a signed copy from Annie so chances of it getting to me by the end of March if it's published on 25th is pretty slim - don't know about your area but postage delivery is appalling these days. I have some books I can move around though :-)
