I Should Have Known I should have known. Whenever you think you have a deadline in sight, especially for a big project (well, big to me, anyway), it WILL get moved back. My publisher just gave me a timeline filled with potential delays I didn’t know were coming (sigh) for “Black Wolf: Lakota Man” by Magnolia Belle. The initial printing should be done by Nov. 3. They will snail mail me the galley which will take anywhere from 3-9 days (having to get through Canadian/US Customs). Or, I can pay $24 to have it overnighted. Once I look at the galley and make any corrections (publisher says there are always corrections), there will be an additional 2-3 week delay in getting them made. Once the corrections are made and I sign off on the book, it will be for sale within 24 hours and in print within 4-5 business days. To actually have the printed books in my possession (I only need 100 copies) will take an additional week or so depending on how I want them shipped. Aaarrrggghhhh! Good news? I have an official ISBN. Woohoo. (Okay, I’m grasping here, but good news is good news.)
