The book was originally contracted to Macmillan of Canada, the publisher of Munro's previous two books.[1] However, when editor Douglas Gibson left the company to join McClelland and Stewart, Munro returned the advance that Macmillan had already paid her, so that she could continue working with Gibson at the new company rather than rebuilding a new relationship with a different editor.[1] The book ultimately became the first title ever released under M&S's new Douglas Gibson Books imprint.[1]

gollark: Rednet, while at first glance appearing to enhance security by being able to send messages to specific computer IDs, is susceptible to the issues of spoofing (in this case, pretending that one's ID differs from one's actual ID) and interception, as it is built on top of the modem API, which permits doing this using its lower-level access.
gollark: You don't need to "bypass" it, just listen to rednet.CHANNEL_REPEAT with modem.
gollark: I wrote some of this, it's useful.
