Again, this wasn’t ideal, as we expected to have more time, but we have to do the best we can. We are leaving comments open so you can vent. But we promised you a book and we have to do our best to deliver. We get the biggest kick out of watching the comment threads spin wild.

Our publisher is putting pressure on us to produce the first third of Hidden Legacy 3 by mid-October, so they can begin the process. If you lose your place in line, the book doesn’t come out. Because of this, our deadlines became extremely tight. COVID and other, previously existing problems have forced some of them to close, and others are experiencing materials and labor shortages. The state of publishing is in flux, because the number of printers has shrunk.
