Doubleday/Image seems to have just moved the official pub date for my book, The Pope Who Quit, up by a few weeks, from early March 2012 to February 14, 2012. I’m not sure why this is; there has been some speculation about Pope Benedict XVI — perhaps there’s some news from the Vatican coming in mid-February. Or perhaps they believe that my medieval history tale will be a hot item for Valentine’s Day gift giving. Yeah, probably not so much.
