Had enough of waiting?

I know I have! So I sympathise with you.

I have now been informed the Libros boss didn't in fact bring the first copy back with him so appears I have misinformed you. I am sorry, I only repeated what I had been told.

I hope you will understand that I am now extremely reluctant to 'guess' how long it is going to take. This is a new experience for me as I am used to working to deadlines so I feel a bit 'wrong footed'. I will know better next time!

It will come out eventually I'm sure.

You have been so patient but if you have had enough and would like a full refund, please just drop me a note and I will arrange this.

No problems - what is the delay!

I wish I could tell you, my publisher has got the first book. They said it would take a couple of days before the first batch was despatched, I'm still waiting. No doubt they have their reasons for the delay but all I have been told (2 days ago) was that it would be "very, very soon"!

I'll keep you posted.

First copy printed - the rest on the way!

Given the change of printers, the Libros (my publishers)boss collected the first copy personally from the UK printers and flew back to Spain with it to check it was up to scratch.

The first proper run should now take place early next week and within a fortnight I should be posting copies to those of you who placed advanced orders. It may take a few weeks for the listing to appear on Amazon etc. but I will keep you posted.

Thanks for your patience!

This week!

After months of waiting Rachel's Shoe is due for release this week!

Copies will go to the distributors with some going straight out to the online retailers Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc..

Initially these guys only buy a small quantity of newly published books then immediately re-stock so if you see an 'out of stock' message don't worry replenishments will be happening quite quickly in the background.

If you purchase from www.AmazonClicks.com you will get the same price and delivery as any Amazon store but ...and here's the important bit ... I get a little extra commission! Go on, you wouldn't begrudge me that would you? :)

For those of you kind enough (and patient enough) to place advance orders, your copies should be despatched to me this week from the printers. I will sign them and post them straight out to you with a complimentary book mark.

A big thank you for waiting!

Pete
