Yes he did.

I had a couple of his books that I didn't do anything for me, but before 
he went to MileHiCon, I picked up some more.   Of the selection I found, 
I discovered his RCN series which I really liked.   The latest book of 
that series I bought in hardbound, and I will buy the next one in 
hardbound.    I only have a handful of authors whose books don't warrant 
waiting until paperback.    Drake's RCN series (but not his other stuff) 
is there.
