> Happy New Year All,

> As some of you might have heard, the copies of Cold Moon are at last
> here at my office and ready to ship.  That's the good news.  The bad
> news is my computer took a cyanide pill and the hard drive was wiped
> out.  My backups will take time to restore, so I thought I would simply
> handle this in the following fashion in order to start shipping copies
> out faster.

> If you previously ordered a copy, please send me an email at
> z...@earthlink.net with your receipt attached (if possible).  This is
> the receipt you got when you ordered it through Paypal.  If you don't
> have this, just drop me a line and when I get the backup restored, I'll
> check it against the list there.

> Also, the vast majority of people who ordered have already written to
> let me know that they do not want or expect a refund.  Thank you very
> much for this, as costs associated with innumerable printer errors have
> added up significantly.  I sincerely appreciate your patience and
> understanding while the numerous hurdles have been hurdled and we are,
> at last, ready to get you your books.  If, however, the remainder who
> have not contacted me still want a refund along with the book, you'll
> need to let me know when you send me your email.

> We start shipping ASAP and I think you'll all love the book.  The
> printers did an excellent job and I'm grateful for their hard work on
> this.  Also, when you do get your book, please let me know what you
> think of it.

> Here's to a happy and prosperous 2008!

> Best,
> Jon
