1. There will be no installment of Deluge this week, as I’ll be sequestered without internet access at my cabin in West Virginia.
2. If you were one of the people impacted by the missing DVD copies of The Ties That Bind, all replacement copies were shipped last week.
3. The Last Zombie #1 hits comic book shops nationwide this Wednesday. If you don’t have a comic store near you, then you can still order online. And Overlook Connection still has a few copies of the signed, slip-cased edition for pre-order.
4. Lifetime Subscribers: Copies of Dark Faith, The Last Zombie #1, and a cover flat for A Gathering of Crows have shipped to all of you, as of this morning.
5. Over the weekend, Amazon.com informed some customers who pre-ordered A Gathering of Crows that their copies would ship on July 1st. I have no knowledge on whether that’s an accurate ship date or not. If so, then it’s a full month before they are scheduled to show up in bookstores.
6. Many of you have been asking about Clickers and Clickers 2: The Next Wave, both of which are out of print. I can’t give any details yet, but I can confirm that both will be available again in trade paperback and digital formats soon, hopefully before the end of the year. Limited-edition hardcover copies of Clickers 3: Dagon Rising (which ties into The Conqueror Worms and Deluge) are still available.
7. Maelstrom is coming. An umbrella will not protect you…

I was one of those people who pre-ordered “A Gathering of Crows” through Amazon, but that was back in April or May, I believe. I never received no e-mail though notifying me that it would be shipped on July 1st. If so, cool then, because then I don’t have to wait much longer for it.
At this particular moment, you can’t even order A Gathering of Crows on Amazon. I don’t know if it’s from the earlier crash where everything seemed to say it wasn’t available or not, but now the book page just says to enter you email address in order to be notified when you can order the book.
Off to the closet with “The Last Zombie” #1, “Dark Faith”, and The Black Dahlia Murder. Just like when I was a kid, except then it was porno and Pantera. And I was afraid of Mom instead of my wife.
I will start watching my postal carrier like a hawk while waiting for TIES THAT BIND to be delivered. *dances with glee*
