Liaden Universe® Infodump # 65
Tuesday, December 4th, 2007 08:16 pmDragon Tides News
SRM Publisher is sorry to announce that Dragon Tides: Adventures in the Liaden Universe® Number 13 will be late.
We know this news is disappointing; in fact, we are disappointed ourselves. Producing and distributing the Yule chapbook is one of the highlights of our year, and has been since 1995. The book will still happen -- no question of that. But we've reached the point (based on realities like lead time at the printer, signing and mailing) that we cannot be certain that the books will arrive in time for Christmas. We wanted to get the word out as soon as we could, because we know some folks give our chapbooks as presents.
For those who may be curious as to what happened: Liaden Universe Companion® Volume Two went off-schedule with the necessity to find a new printer, and, as we all know, it only needs one thing to go askew in a tight schedule to send everything else spinning out of control. We thought we could make a recover, but LUC 2 wasn't done with us yet: There were numerous database incompatibilities that resulted in people not getting the books they had ordered, and Steve has been occupied in correcting those errors, which has cut into production time for Dragon Tides.
We want to thank everyone for their patience. We are very sorry about this.
