I’m pleased to report that Cemetery Dance Publications was featured in The New York Times and you can now read the article online:

Brian James Freeman Mentioned in The New York Times
This was a neat way to start the week.
In a post about Cemetery Dance Publications’ new six book deal with Stephen King, I was mentioned by a columnist for The New York Times:
Early Stephen King Novels to Be Reissued in Special Editions
A Surprising Fact About Modern Day Cruise Ships: Still Not Enough Lifeboats
This one definitely falls under my Miscellaneous Thinking category and has nothing to do with the publishing business, but I was genuinely surprised to read this fact in the article “Lack of Backup Power Puts Cruise Passengers at the Ocean’s Mercy” in The New York Times today:
Massive new vessels like the Oasis of the Seas, operated by Royal Caribbean, can carry up to 5,400 passengers and 2,160 crew members… Experts say that evacuating any vessel is a dangerous, last-ditch procedure. And the prospect of doing so on a ship like the Oasis of the Seas is daunting. It carries enough lifeboats for 6,500 people; or 1,000 seats fewer than its maximum capacity.
I’ve read that section three times because I keep thinking I must be reading it wrong. Am I? Or is anyone else surprised to learn cruise ships aren’t required to have enough lifeboats for all of the passengers and crew?
