“Jason Wright is bringing his new novel to the world — in real time. Wright — a New York Times bestselling author, columnist and speaker who has written books for Deseret Book — is writing his latest manuscript for his new book “Bus to Gulf Breeze” in real time, putting it together through a Google Docs file everyone can watch.

Needless to say, I’ve collected a trove of random facts about the Caped Crusader over my decades of fandom. After more than 80 years of publication, multiple movies, TV shows, and video games, Batman has been through a lot. His rogues gallery is wide and deep. His adventures with the Justice League and Outsiders have taken him all over the DC Universe. He’s even had crossovers! Big battles, deep character moments, and absolutely ridiculous experiences are everywhere....

Katie has it all: the successful home makeover show with her sweet-natured husband Damian; the adorable tween daughters; and a designer mansion. But out of the spotlight, reality TV isn’t reality. Her marriage is disintegrating, her daughters despise her, and all her money can’t repair the damage. Now, with Damian ready to quit after one last holiday episode, Katie can kiss her artificial world goodbye. But if there’s one thing a pro like Katie knows how to do, it’s negotiate....

As the pandemic continues, more publishers may make the decision to push book releases, but with the help of authors over on Twitter and this extremely helpful running list of delayed books, I’ve put together a semi-comprehensive list new released dates.
