I ordered books for the #DevotionAndCorrosion Kickstarter fulfillment at the end of March. Made one order that included paperbacks and hardcovers to ship to my house, plus a couple dozen to ship from the printer direct to the backers. No biggie.

Ingram said: "We can't put your paperbacks and hardcovers in the same order, because our internal processes are stupid. But here are your two invoices."

Credit card statement lumps the paperbacks, hardcovers, and two of the individual orders.

Dear #DevotionAndCorrosion backers:

the online launch party is tomorrow. 10AM EDT. Check your updates for details.

Dear #DevotionAndCorrosion backers: the online release party is scheduled.

While D&C won't be out in regular stores for a while yet, you can grab it in ebook direct from me.

Use release windowing to nudge people into buying direct from me instead of using Amazon? Would *I* do that? Oh, heck yes, I would totally do that.

“Devotion and Corrosion” Kickstarter wrap-up – Michael W Lucas

Awake.

Goal for today: mail the #DevotionAndCorrosion Kickstarter rewards.

Not a physically difficult job, but tedious. In theory, shouldn't trigger covid exhaustion.

But if I get woozy, the project shuts down.

Assembling the final leather-cased books for the #DevotionAndCorrosion Kickstarter backers.

I gotta say, that's a whole lotta rats.

Today: rest, but move enough that I can sleep tonight.

Laundry.

Wrap a few #devotionAndCorrosion hardcovers in cases.

Maybe see if I can find the maliciously deleted files on my sister's laptop, if my brain retains the spoons after 1 and 2.

The #devotionAndCorrosion paperbacks arrived for me to sign and ship for Kickstarter backers.

I do not have the strength to get the books upstairs, or the brain to address envelopes.  

Sorry, folks. Hoping for next week.

It won't be out most places for a while yet, but you can now grab #DevotionAndCorrosion on my web store.

Me? Release windows to nudge folks towards direct purchases? Nah. Never. Wouldn't dream of it.

How do you "ship" ebooks?
