Barking Rain Press, publishers of The Chronocar has shut down. The book has disappeaed from retail outlets. Only used and third party leftover copies are available (collectors’ items!). While this is sad news, it is not the end of The Chronocar. An audiobook is on the way, and there is an excellent chance that paperback and ebook versions will be available again soon.
