Hi! This is to let you know that surveys are going out for The Shard of Elan, and it's time to help me send your backer rewards.

First, the sorta-bad news: I spoke with my printer, and production is a little behind. Not a lot, but combined with the necessary weeks of shipping, we're now looking at an early December delivery date to me.

Better news: By my current calculations, I should still have time to turn around and ship promptly for gifting. If that starts to look sketchy, I will provide a pretty printable card to tell your recipient what's coming, so you still get full credit for being awesome.

Good news: This actually opens up the survey window a little, as I don't have to have all the labels and packages ready to go as quickly.

So here are the deadlines:

If you requested the special edition set without the premium slipcase upgrade, your survey must be submitted by Dec 1 for December shipping. This is so I can get everything ready to ship immediately upon arrival.

If you requested (or want to add) the premium slipcase upgrade (because it's gorgeous), your survey must be submitted by November 7. These are individually made to order and require some time.

If you requested the standard paperbacks or other items, but not the special editions, please submit your survey by Oct 31 for shipment in early November.

If your survey comes in after those dates, your rewards are still good! but they will ship later. Your items will ship in mid or late December, or when your survey is completed.

Ebooks

I will be signing and personalizing your ebooks as well!

If you already have a Bookfunnel account, be sure to use that email address where asked in the survey. If not, don't worry, I pay for it so there's no charge to you. :) Your ebooks delivered via Bookfunnel can be read in the Bookfunnel app on your phone or tablet, or shared to another device (Nook, Kindle, etc.).

Let me know if you have any questions!
