New news, bad news...
"So basically if we fans collected the $500 for you, and then you used it to set up the publication of your book through xlibris, would that be a reasonable plan for you?
Yeah, but again, I'm still worried about HarperCollins coming back to sue. No one's given me a definitive answer on that one! Thanks, pt

While he seems to think that $500 would be fine to set Xlibris, he's still worried about Harpercollins...
so someone really needs to get ahold of them and see if we can get them out of the equation.
If we find out that Harper Collins is willing to let him publish it through Xlibris, or sell the text to the CIC, then he will be willing to commit to releasing the book in some format.
A friend of mine pointed this out to me;
There's probaly some clause that says if a book is cancelled that's the same as a broken contract. Well even if they can sue they can only sue EA. EA is the one that meets this stuff out.
Though I don't know if he's right or not with this particular case.
