That's just like Mrs. Turner. That seriously cracked me up. I guess the folks down at Harper Collins just couldn't make up there minds. I should know. I sneaked into one of their secret meetings and taped their conversation. Shhh, Don't tell.
Disclaimer: To protect the innocent, the names of those involved have been changed. The following may or may not be the product of a rapid fan-girl's mind, which we all know is a very, very scary place.
Harper Collins person #1: I vote for April. It's always sunny in April.
Harper Collins person #2: Only if you live in Florida. I say March 10. Ten is such a... a...
Harper Collins person #3: Even number?
Harper Collins person #2: That's it.
Harper Collins person #1: But... But... Fool's Day is in April, and Gen is a fooleryish (new word) sort of person. It would be perfect. And don't forget it's sunny in April.
Harper Collins person #3: *sigh* Yes, I believe we've established that fact.
Harper Collins person #2: March 10 would be so much better. And how dare you call Gen a fool? Do you want to invoke the wraith of the crazy reprobates?
Harper Collins person #3: Not to mention delaying the book's release a month just because of the weather is likely to get you stoned by said reprobates.
Harper Collins person #1: *cringes* I suppose I would prefer to actually be able to safely leave my house again. So what day shall we go with?
Harper Collins person #3: March 23 would compromise the two previously purposed dates.
Harper Collins person #2: That's a wonderful idea, but I've got an idea. Just to be annoying, how about we release several different dates to confuse people?
Harper Collins person #1: Brilliant! *does happy dance*
Harper Collins person #3: *sigh* I need a new job.
I'm bored. In case you couldn't tell. Sorry, all you real Harper Collins people. I'm sure you're working very hard and are nothing like these crazy people.
