I hit Newark Airport and turned on my phone to find an email from a book buyer for a Big Huge Honking Store. The email confirms that according to this buyer’s source at Hachette, the Evanovich/Cannell novel No Chance has ‘no chance’ of being published. The book has been canceled with no date for rescheduling.
Whoa. Dude. Wonder what happened? People who were looking forward to that book are going to be mighty bummed out.
UPDATED TO ADD:
Sarah at MediaBistro’s GalleyCat got the confirmation from Janet Evanovich, who cited scheduling problems. They still have an active partnership, says Evanovich, which should certainly soothe those who were looking forward to this book.

I am SOOOO glad I hadn’t ordered this for work yet. So, so, so glad. I hate when this happens. It tends to annoy library patrons.
Nice to see both of you ladies in person. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m just wasted today. And I work tomorrow. What the heck was I thinking?
How sad, and really weird.
Maybe the publisher thought Evanovich was writing the book with Steve CARRELL.
Seriously - too bad. I did see Janet at MWA in April and at that time she was still talking about it.

What about the multi-book deal she had to write with Leanne Banks?
That sucks! I was really looking forward to this book. I hope they are able to pull it off sometime in the near future.
That is terrible, even if her latest stuff hasn’t been that great. I couldn’t even bring myself to finish her latest Stephanie Plum or even get interested in her other series. Maybe she just needs to take a break. She’s got a lot going on lately with all her different series and her daughter getting married.
Collaboration is hard. Really.

Oh, oh, glancing over at my bookshelf, I came up with another name of the Collinsesque school: Sidney Sheldon. Now, his last few books were just “meh” but get in the Wayback Machine and go pick up copies of Bloodline,…
I haven’t read the book yet, but I saw the movie last year and I found it really breathtakingly gripping and suspenseful. There’s a lot of violence, though. And if you go to see it, my advice would be to…
I’d also recommend anything by Cherry Adair, especially her T-FLAC series books. She’s always got a ton of action, twisted plots and seriously hot sexxoring. My career AF uncle loved one of her books I had him try.
Stephanie - It was not your “bad” in mixing up MP vs SP ... it is a mistake easily made, especially if you watch MASH, The Unit, or even Army Wives on TV (who can forget Klinger on night duty…
Well crap, everybody already stole my suggestions, so I guess I’ll just cast another vote for Lowell, Howard, Cruisie/Mayer and Chase. Julie Garwood has always been one of my favorites too — although I like her historicals better than the…
