Some days I love writing and hate the business of publishing

Dear Friends and Readers...

I have been busily writing much of the morning, and zooming right along at it, until I got stopped in my tracks by a note from a long-time reader who tells me that amazon.com has canceled an order for Mouse and Dragon because, that because of a pricing error  they don't know when they'll have more.

For crying out loud -- has this happened to you? Has your Amazon order for Mouse and Dragon been unilaterally canceled? 

Do tell, please, if this has happened to you over this or any other of our forthcoming books.

(version 2)

By the way, IIRC this did happen to one of our Meisha Merlin books and caused much confusion. It may have to do with the dual author listing.

When I checked my open orders, I was instructed that I had to approve the "delayed" anticipated date. They wanted approval by March 7, but I received nothing in the mail from them prior to that date.

I did, of course, approve the "delay" and it seems that their system accepted it, so we shall see.

Ditto:"delivery estimate: June 18, 2010 - June 22, 2010 "

Now that you have jogged my memory - I got an email with the following text on Feb 5th.

Hello from Amazon.com.

We're writing about the order you placed on December 24 2009 (Order# ###-#######-#######). Unfortunately, the release date for the item(s) listed below has changed, and we need to provide you with a new delivery estimate based on the new release date:

Sharon Lee, Steve Miller "Mouse and Dragon (Liaden)"
- Hide quoted text -
Estimated arrival date: June 17 2010

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this delay.

Doesn't say anything about needing to approve the delay but I have a later email thanking me for doing so... I think I approved the delay when I went to their website to cancel a duplicated order.
