What everyone is seeing in the pic above are the contents of one package that someone who pre-ordered a copy of THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES: BEGINNINGS will be receiving by next Wednesday. The next package will contain an issue from the KNUCKLES series with the pattern repeating in a similar manner. (Not pictured is the stiff piece of foam core inserted in every package or the mylar bag everything is packaged in to ensure nothing arrives damaged.)
Since I don’t have 200 copies or so of any one issue in particular from either the SONIC or KNUCKLES series, I decided the fairest way to insert that random SONIC or KNUCKLES issue as promised was to start with the earliest issues on hand sent to the people who have waited the longest for their copy, and work my way up from there. For the record, I played no favorites.
Also keep in mind some of the books do show a little wear, particularly some of the early ones, but they’re still in collectible shape.
Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, I can now report at least 25 orders have been completely processed and shipped. 24 will be arriving by Monday or Tuesday at the latest. A couple may arrive to their buyers possible sooner due to their proximity from me. The odd one out is the first being shipped to Canada, which may take 6 to 10 days before it arrives.
I plan on spending a few hours after this packaging more books for their buyers tonight. If I get back from an appointment in time tomorrow afternoon, I hope to have enough time to make it to the Post Office. If not, Monday will be a REALLY BIG batch shipping out.
In all honesty, I estimate it’ll take me 8 to 10 days before all the orders are filled, and that’s not counting any orders being placed in the meantime until then. So I ask for patience and understanding in the meantime. It’s only me behind the curtain and I have no munchkins available to help with this part of the operation.
To end on a high note, the women of Bernie’s book club have gathered at our home tonight as it was Bernie’s turn to host. Bernie brought up my new book as a topic of conversation, and the women expressed unanimous interest. The result? After checking it out, they all wanted to buy a copy. Who knew the characters and story had that much universal appeal?
In the meantime, it’s back to work. And if anyone has a question, just ask. Take care.
So exciting!
And I love the book club anecdote. When I was mentioning to my mother that I was expecting the book in the mail, she also expressed interest. I have a feeling once the books are out there in the world for people to see that plenty more people are gonna want their own copies.
It’s beginning to feel more real, every day! I am over the moon to be this close to finally having my copy, it really is like Christmas coming early. :’) Also, happy to hear Bernie’s book club has such good taste!
Wishing you all the best in working through the rest of the orders. Your diligent efforts are much appreciated on this end. ❤
Good for Bernie. That must’ve been an amazing book whatever it was.
It makes me interested.
It sounds like a fun time.
I just realized you answered my question if it’s alright asking for clarification.
You said if anyone has a question please ask. Sometimes I miss these things.
Can’t wait until my copy are sent out though I will have to wait later for mine as I’m from Scotland. Still I have a shot saved with 2 Sonic books on one of my shelves.
