The Road To Roswell won't come out until October, 2023, and I haven't a clue why it will take that long, as the publisher has the manuscript in hand. Probably some nonsense about coming out for the Christmas sales. Don't they know that Connie's fans are dedicated and will read anything she writes? Heck, I'd read "Connie Willis's shopping list" if it were available.

The Doomsday Book
can be a downer, but the humor of To Say Nothing About the Dog more than makes up for it, in my opinion.

Black Out/All Clear
have a lot of humor in them, along with the serious stuff. It's just up to you, and what you know you are willing to put up with.
