Abhorsen is 1 year late according to 1999 projections of a 2000 release. See

His website says September 2002. Unless you're in the UK in which
case it's 2004.
Amazon is offering a downloadable LIRAEL with a teaser for ABHORSEN,
fwiw.

Garth Nix
manuscript (it was kind of finished but I've largely rewritten it over the
last year) and my editor at HarperCollins says it has missed the boat for
Fall 2002 and will probably be scheduled for February or March 2003. This is
because it will probably be 4-5 months going through the editing process, me
doing another revision or polish and the long lead times for all the
marketing stuff, like production of bound proofs, which the publishers like
to have at least 6 months ahead of release. The Dillons are also working on
the cover and as they are very busy and very good, that also takes time.
Australian publication will probably be at the same time. The UK is behind
already and begin with SABRIEL in August 2002.
Within the next few weeks I will be putting some sample chapters from
ABHORSEN on my website at www.ozemail.com.au/~garthnix and probably they
will also go up on the eidolon site, www.eidolon.net/garth_nix
I'm also going to put up the (hopefully) funny piece I did at Aussiecon III
and Swancon called 'My New Epic Fantasy Series', as several people have
requested it. An exhibition of my lighter side.
Sorry about the delay with ABHORSEN. I keep saying that I think it's better
to have the right book later rather than the wrong book sooner, I hope this
turns out to be true . . .
Best wishes
Garth Nix

Absolute agreement here. Thanks so much for the update!

Ah, the dilemma of sample chapters - to read or not to read.
I'll probably succumb. As I recall, though, the eidolon site has been
inaccessible the last few times I tried.

I look forward to it, not having had the opportunity to attend Aussicon.

<wipes drool off keyboard> That'll be quite nice. I'm looking forward to
it.
