*Sigh* it's so embarrassing! But how kind of you to order it so early!

What happened was that the publication date was meant to be October 1st. This got delayed to November 2nd, when my baby was 'born' at the Worldfantasycon in New York City. Then add to that a shipping schedule of between 3 and 5 weeks...it has been a very tense situation!

Apologies for all that, and thanks for your support:-)
