In 2011, you don’t have to wait until Christmas for another Cotton Malone adventure. Steve’s publication date is being shifted from November to May. So, for 2011, Malone’s Clones will be receiving their yearly dose of adventure a little early. The latest installment in the series, The Jefferson Key, will be in stores May 17th. Yes, that’s right.

We have a winner!!!! The fan naming contest was a huge success. There were several hundred entries, many of which contained multiple suggestions. In all, there were nearly 1500 suggested names for the Malone fans. In the end, one stood out, so here it is: Malone’s Clones, 100% Pure Cotton. It’s quite clever. The first part was suggested by quite a few of the entrants, but the first one to send their e-mail along was Merrill Kalman of Scottsdale, AZ. The second part was the brainchild of the novelist, David Robbins, who, on being told of the selection, offered the clever reference to Cotton. Thanks to everyone who gave us suggestions and we welcome all of Malone’s Clones.
