We had planned to release Shimmer: The Best Of in February–a valentine, to you, from us. But it hasn’t worked out that way. Instead, I had a family emergency in February and into March. And March– Well, you know how March has gone, the world over.

The book is done. It’s ready to go. But since we’re publishing with KDP, things have grown complicated. Amazon is delaying shipments of books and other “non-essential” items during the current pandemic. That means that while we could release the book right now, it wouldn’t reach anyone for a month or more. That doesn’t feel like a proper book release at all.

We’ve made the decision to delay the release until this summer, when hopefully shipping times will be back to what they once were. We’re going to stay flexible on specific dates and keep you updated.

We know this is disappointing news–it’s hard on this end, too. We made you a beautiful book, and cannot wait to share it with you.

But for right now, we must.
