So! For those who may have missed the news, yesterday saw the arrival of a check and 13 boxes (250 books) of Alliance of Equals.

Here's the plan re:  Alliance of Equals.

Steve and I have already signed six boxes of books, and done all of the personalizations.  Today, three of those boxes (including all the personalizations and such autographed editions as fill the shipment out) will board a FedEx truck.  They should arrive in Minneapolis tomorrow, Saturday, latest, which will give the Uncle and his crew time to start getting them in the mail.

In the meantime, we here at the Confusion Factory will finish signing the other seven boxes after breakfast, call UPS and get them outta here this afternoon.  In a just and merciful universe, they will arrive in Minneapolis on Tuesday or Wednesday next week.

This is not a perfect solution, but it's the best one we could come up with.  We again thank everyone for their patience. For more information regarding the need for patience, see this post.

No writing yesterday.  Very probably none today.

Tomorrow will be better, Mrs. Miller.

The cats do not seem interested in aiding you in your labors.

Well, yanno. Supervisors. White collar, salaried. They don't get their paws dirty with this stuff.

You are awesome. I hope you have fat, comfortable pens.

Ah, publishers.

I hope no one gives you pushback on this!

I'd asked Don about it a couple of weeks ago, and at that time he led me to expect that he might not have the books until the first week in July.

FWIW, you can push my personalization to the end, and ship it out last. I'm more than willing to wait for the artifact, I'll be re-reading the story via the e-book as soon as Baen releases the final version there-of.

Proving that Don is more cynical, even, than me.

We did all the personalizations at one go. Easier to know they're done and boxed and all that's left is signing our names.

He also had a surgery scheduled that was potentially going to influence when the books could get shipped.

I do hope it was a good check.... enough to keep the kitties in kibble...
