Blue Heaven, Three Weeks to Say Goodbye, and the upcoming Back of Beyond are available here: http://us.macmillan.com/audio.aspx

DULL KNIFE, THE MASTER FALCONER, and NOBLE SAVAGE are illustrated, limited-edition short stories published by ASAP. They are very difficult to find because they're collector's editions. Occasionally, they may be available from on-line collectors or merchants.

C.J. Box someday intends to anthologize his short stories, including the limited edition stories, so they're available and affordable for readers.

In the meantime, though, readers can find most of the short stories in assorted anthologies, including:

PIRATES OF YELLOWSTONE: From "Meeting Across the River" http://www.amazon.com/Meeting-Across-River-Jessica-Kaye/dp/B000MV8HW0/re... or "The Best American Mystery Stories of 2006" http://www.amazon.com/Best-American-Mystery-Stories-2006/dp/0618517472/r...

PERFECTLY GRIMM: "Once Upon A Crime: An Anthology of Murder, Mayhem, and Suspense" http://www.amazon.com/Once-Upon-Crime-Anthology-Suspense/dp/1932472851/r...

EVERY DAY IS A GOOD DAY ON THE RIVER: "Hook, Line & Sinister" http://www.amazon.com/Hook-Line-Sinister-Jefferson-Parker/dp/0881508667/...

THE END OF JIM AND EZRA: "Damn Near Dead 2: Live Noir of Die Trying" http://www.amazon.com/Damn-Near-Dead-Live-Trying/dp/1935415409/ref=sr_1_...

Go to a book signing! The tour schedule is posted here: http://www.cjbox.net/appearances

If you're not able to make a signing or event, the next best way to get a signed book is to contact the bookstores who specialize in customer service and keep supplies of signed books. You can find that list here: http://www.cjbox.net/bookstores.

If neither of those preferred options will work for you, send the book(s) along with a note detailing the inscription and whom the book is for, plus a self-addressed and postage-paid mailer to the following address:

C.J. Box

PMB #441

1740H Dell Range Blvd.

Cheyenne, WY, USA 82009

When you're ready to send your books, post a comment on the CJBox forum (it won't show up to the public) saying they're on the way so we know to look for them. The turn-around time may not be optimum, but C.J. will sign, inscribe, and get the book(s) sent back to you as soon as possible.

BLUE HEAVEN is under option to producer Michael Besman and Cameron Lamb. A screenplay has been written and negotiations with studios are progressing.

Although OPEN SEASON was optioned for a while and several versions of a script were written, in the end a new group of studio executives at Warner Bros. decided they didn't want to proceed. So all of the books are available again, but nothing is really pending. There is interest from time to time and there's been talk about other projects and even a television series, but nothing solid. One thing we've learned is that "unpredictable" is the best byword for dealing with Hollywood.
