kinzelWe got a quick call from Meisha Merlin's home office yesterday...
and it appears that Crystal Dragon is now (finally)shipping to warehouses...
so that those of you who have ordered ahead from bookstores and amazon and BN.com and the like ought to be getting your books within a reasonable time frame.
Those of you who ordered signed copies direct from Meisha Merlin... will be waiting for awhile, since those copies get shipped via a package aggregator trucking company to a central hub, and thence to a Maine hub, and from there to the beautiful Cat Farm and Confusion Factory, where we sign and box them before dropping them in the mail in the Unity metroplex. The process? We have to lug cases and cases of books across the mud flats from the truck to the deck, and then from the deck to the living room... and then sign and box with the aid of the cats... and then drive 28 miles round trip to the post office, closely coordinating our schedule with the post master since the Unity PO has had it's hours cut, it being more convenient to close, dismember, and cut counter hours in rural Maine post offices than those in Florida or Texas.
So watch the skies, we'll let you know when books arrive; the traditional heading for that announcement is "Truck! Truck!"
