I&#8217;ll check with Steven on this.  I suspect that the change just hasn&#8217;t gone through yet.  From some stuff Steven told me, Amazon can be a little slow with changes like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also note&#8230; if you&#8217;re clicking through and looking at the series in Amazon, it sort of looks like <em>The Psychic on the Jury<\/em> is the first book.  This is not true.  Because it is shorter (and cheaper), I think some people unfamiliar with my work might read it first.  It doesn&#8217;t contain significant spoilers for <em>The Repossessed Ghost<\/em>, although it does depict Mel in control of his powers.  A big part of <em>The Repossessed Ghost<\/em> is Mel learning to open his Mind&#8217;s Eye and use his abilities intentionally, but I don&#8217;t see this is a major spoiler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think the only real problem with reading them out of order is that <em>The Repossessed Ghost<\/em> takes place over a decade ago, and an unobservant reader might wind up confused since <em>The Psychic on the Jury<\/em> takes place a few years later, but before the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh!  This just in&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/briancebuhl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/briancebuhl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57736\" srcset=\"https:\/\/briancebuhl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image.png 450w, https:\/\/briancebuhl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Steven is sorting the books tonight.  He paused to post this image.  It might be hard to see, but right in the middle on the right is a stack of <em>The Psychic on the Jury<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There had been a chance that the book wouldn&#8217;t be there for Baycon.  Books in shipping get delayed all the time.  But there it is!  This is the first time I&#8217;m getting to see that book in real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So exciting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, the pre-order link is above.  If you happen to be in Santa Clara this weekend, you can stop by Baycon and visit me in the dealer&#8217;s room.  From what I can tell, the dealer&#8217;s room is open to the public.  And just like <em>The Repossessed Ghost<\/em> was pre-released at Baycon last year, <em>The Psychic on the Jury<\/em> will be available at Baycon this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really need to work on the sequel novel for next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is the Amazon link!
