Quick personal update… back to work soon!

Hey everybody,

As I stated Sunday night after this campaign successfully funded, I said things were going to be delayed because of a medical incident involving my mother. Thankfully, as of last night, she’s officially out of the woods, so I can now breathe a little easier and start to focus on helping get this project into the Hand Copies And Premiums To My Contributors Stage… which will immediately follow the recently interrupted by the aforementioned family emergency Final Edit Stage. Those of you that deployed prayers, positive thoughts, vibes, etc. have infinite thanks coming from myself and my family.

As of this morning I am able to request the transfer the funds from Amazon Payments to my bank account, which means I’ll be able to order the hardcover books as soon as the final manuscript is ready. As usual, there’s Amazon’s usual legal-eagle-mandated caveats/delays like “Please wait five to seven business days blah blah blah…” but then again I should have the final manuscript edited and formatted for both the printer and the e-book distributor by then! Soon as the money is officially in my account, I’ll be surveying everybody as far as mailing and e-mail addresses, shirt sizes, etc.

I’ve also decided on the “company name” to go on the book. I mentioned it on the Facebook page, but I’ll formally announce it when the book goes to press.

Updates will be more frequent as all of this progresses.
