Rebekka asked J.-F. Dubeau:

Did something happen to Song of the Sandman? I ordered it from Amazon back in October of last year, never arrived and now it says Feb. 2020?

J.-F. Dubeau That's the question that wakes me up at night.

The long and short of it is that there have been delays, mostly on my part. The current status of the book is that it's in the final stages of editing. I'm still hoping for an October 2019 release (which is already a year later than I would have liked) but a lot of that is in the hands of the publisher and distributor.

There's a long and ultimately boring story about the difficulties of writing a satisfying sequel, working full time, meeting reader and publisher expectations along with my own failures as a writer, but it would just be making excuses.

The bottom line is that the book is getting done. It'll either publish in Fall 2019 or early 2020, but we're aiming for the former.

I hope you stick it out, I think it's going to be worth the wait. Either way, I thank you for pre-ordering. Readers don't alway realize how much of a hero move pre-ordering a book is.
