Well, today I held in my hands my very own copy of What in the World Are You Doing with Cancer?!!! I’ve been waiting to do (and say) that for a good part of the past three years! The print quality came out great–no missing pages or cover printed upside down or anything! So, I gave my publisher the go-ahead to send on my initial shipment of books and it should arrive next week!

Some of you may have seen that my book is available on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com right now, and a couple of my friends said their orders should arrive tomorrow. Today I asked my sales rep at my publisher how that was possible if I hadn’t finished signing off on the print quality yet since I just got my own copy today. He said that each of those companies uses different printers, so my publisher WestBow has me okay the print quality as a courtesy that other companies don’t. So hopefully the copies people bought from Amazon and B&N turn out okay, but if not, that’s a problem for the individual printers those companies use.

Unfortunately that means that other people will probably get copies before y’all, my backers, and that’s not how I envisioned this going; my plan was to send yours out first, but I didn’t know the book would be a go as soon as I signed off on the final cover form a few weeks ago. Once I get your books in, I’ll try and send them out ASAP, so thanks again for your patience! If you should be receiving an eBook, I don’t know yet when I’ll have the link for your copies because that falls under the marketing department (yeah…?!?) and I’m still waiting to hear back from them. But, I will be persistent about those, too!

Thanks again–I’m so excited and also grateful for everyone who’s helped make this happen! It’s here!!!!! I’ll update again when I get your books in and can give you a more specific shipping date and ETA. Blessings!
