Do you know roughly when it is coming out?

Unfortunately the release date isn't confirmed yet. The publisher has just launched another book (Liza Granville's "The Tor"),
With the back cover blurb confirmed, the manuscript in for layout and proofing, and the cover the next thing they are working on, Firestorm is definitely underway. (I am resisting the urge to say "smouldering").
It should be out later this year. I'll be more definite as the date approaches.

Why's Bewrite mentions vanishing off the website?
Is the book still coming out?

A good spot. To clarify the issue the book will be coming out, but not with the original publisher.
Bewrite formally released the book yesterday telling me that I need a publisher with a print house, not a POD, to capitalise on the demand I generated for distribution and review copies. All rights have been returned. Events have moved quickly since. I have been chasing agents and found a lead on a publisher this morning, although I won't say more to avoid getting people's hopes up.
The book will be coming out. I already have a way to release it if I cannot find another mainstream publisher: by resurrecting my imprint, brushing off the press (and annoying the neighbours) and uploading kindle and ebook versions. For obvious reasons I am looking for alternatives first.
After all, if the book can make this kind of splash with only me doing PR, imagine what it could do with some backing.
And after working with them for the past few months, I would definitely recommend Bewrite to aspiring authors.
