Tough Guys by Jim Kyte Postponed

First it was Lions In Winter. Now it's Tough Guys. The book by former NHL defenseman Jim Kyte has been indefinitely postponed.

Not surprisingly Red Deer Press offered no real reason for the delay, only reassuring me that the project is still very much in their plans.

Releasing a hockey book in January is an odd decision. After all you miss out on the NHL season opening and the all important Christmas sales season.

My guess is this book will still hit bookstore shelves in 2009, but in the much more traditional autumn months of October and November.
