Subject: WILDCAT ARROWS

Originally we were told "We anticipate that WILDCAT ARROWS should ship in July, although we are working on getting an earlier printing."

July 23 - 10 weeks ago we were told:
UPDATE ON BOOK Just wanted to let everyone know the status of the book. We know you are all anxious to get your copy and that's a good thing as Martha would say. As you know this is an out of the ordinary process but with all of us pulling together, it will come together fine in the end. Right now the printer is heavily backed up because they are printing school books for fall. (at least the back-up is for a good cause) We are probably looking at shipment in the later weeks of August but I will keep you updated. -- Cory-Webmaster, Saturday, July 23, 04:50:43pm [6]

6 weeks later we were told:
From Dara Joy -- Dara, Saturday, September 03, 05:42:24pm Dear Readers,

Some of you have already written to us asking if the hurricane will affect the release of the book and we want to respond to your concerns. As we mentioned in our last letter the printers were backed up at that time and we were expected to go to press within the next 3-4 weeks. Cory was told yesterday, however, that the schedule now COULD be impacted by the availability of supplies and other factors that may have been affected by the hurricane, including transport issues as well. (Our initial print run turned out to be much larger than what we originally anticipated- this resulted in it being more difficult to squeeze the printing into the shorter schedule we originally hoped for.) We will know more in the days to come and keep you apprised of this situation as soon as we have firm information.

Dara stated "we will know more in the days to come and keep you apprised of the situation..." 22 days later and still no information on what is happing with the books.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Dara's books and want to see her continue writing them for many many years to come. I know this is a HUGE undertaking and I'm sure it's getting bigger by the day. I have no problem waiting 2 more months for the book if that's how long it's going to take. The only thing I have a problem with is not being kept informed of the progress.

I own a small business myself, and if I missed deadlines and did not keep my customers informed (weekly and sometimes daily) on what was happing with product they ordered, I would not keep those customers. I don't think a quick post in Fanspeak Gardens once a week with updates would be too much to ask, and I know I would not be the only big Fan of Dara's that would appreciate the status reports.

Thanks for listening!
