The here, now & later...

And now it seems like I can breathe.

The book is printed. We got our first 300-some copies late Friday afternoon after some troubles with the bleed on the cover. While Shawn did all of the work on it, I was running around having a tantrum. But they got done. We get the rest of the 700+ copies on Monday.

You want to know how to piss off federal employees? Show up at 4:55 p.m. to the Post Office and try to mail seven 30-pound boxes that all need insurance and delivery confirmation. Well, Debbie, the woman who waited on me, didn't go postal, but she did give me some tongue-in-cheek advice. "Get into a lighter media."

So, anyone who ordered on Amazon.com, they're coming your way. Also, anyone in Q-C that hasn't ordered can go pick up a copy at Borders in Davenport on Tuesday. It'll be in the local authors section. Also working on getting copies at the Book Shelf in Winona. But, if there's a place that you think should carry A Constant Suicide bug the crap out of them until they do.

Anyway, I'm off to continue recuperating from hanging out with the old Winona posse. Come back, there'll be more this week. Until then, thanks again for all of the support.
