Production Update Questions

[jeffingoff]

You're talking about the "Forthcoming Grab Bag" and not the "Early Readers Forthcoming Grab Bag" right? The early readers one from may has all shipped already, and the more recent early readers one is just waiting for the arc to all arrive, I think 2 of the 5 are in the warehouse now.

For the Forthcoming Grab Bag, I'm not really sure what the plan / schedule for the printer is over November / December. I think all 3 titles are ready or just about ready, Brian can confirm and maybe provide more specifics. I would guess they will probably be in the first half on next year given the deadlines on some other projects that are at similar stages of production, but I'm not sure.

Yeah it was the Forthcoming Grab Bag. I didn't even remember how many books were in it! But yeah three signed limited editions.

I think all three books are just about ready, but they are still unannounced while we work through some of the already announced titles ahead of them. First half of 2019 sounds very possible. Sorry about the wait! We were thinking all three would be out this year, but the mess with our one printer (who closed unexpectedly in June) resulted in chaos for the production schedule!

Thanks Brian. I'm not in any rush. I was just going through my stack of pre-orders and came across that grab bag purchase and thought "OH YEAH . . ." and then I got itchy and curious like book addicts are known to get.

I think CD sells a signed limited cream for that "itchy" issue you get.

You guys are going to have a very busy 2019.

Really bsaenz24 .. .. .. I can't believe CD would sell such a product. No, wait! The books are the product that gives one the itch. Cap

Guys, I don't think you're ever going to get those signature sheets back from the last author on Shocklines.

Ha. Mines been on order since 2006. Gonna be awesome when it's done though.

We have an author who has had the BEST OF CD 2 signature sheets since 2015 (?) or so, but we're once again trying to talk him into returning them now. This is a bigger problem than folks might imagine!

Realizing you probably can't say and just out of plain ol' curiosity; is he simply refusing to return them for some reason?

Just keeps not doing it after promising to do it... We suspect there is a mental health element at play.

Hopefully he has not lost them and just not been willing to admit it.

Unfortunately, it is possible. We're nearing the point of asking the rest of the authors to sign again with new sheets. We'll see.

Holy crap, I didn't realize the book was up for order that long ago. My order (for the trade!) is from 2014.

I always have plenty to read so these delays never bother me.
