As noted in his recent tweet, JDP founder and book guru, Eirik Gumeny, has, unfortunately, been laid up in the hospital for the past week. Pictures of Bacta tanks notwithstanding, this is for real and serious, though he’s going to be okay.

The other good news, in terms of the release of Shake Away These Constant Days, is that pre-arranged shipments to places like Amazon should go through and the book will be available there on Tuesday as planned. The bad news is that copies purchased via the Kickstarter or the JDP site will have to wait until Eirik returns to good health — hopefully in a week to ten days — as those things are all headed to New Mexico, which is where the rest of us JDP folk, well, aren’t. Since Eirik also handles the Kindle voodoo, there will also be a slight delay in getting Ryan’s book available in that format too and in getting out electronic copies of the book to those who have them coming as a Kickstarter reward.

We know supporting a Kickstarter is an act of faith as much as it is of generosity these days and we want everyone to rest assured they’ll get their copies of Ryan Werner’s amazing book. We just need you to wait a bit longer. We seriously appreciate your patience.

And if you could keep a good thought for Eirik’s health, too, all the better.

Thanks again to everyone who supports Jersey Devil Press.
