The initial orders for Night Shift: Crossing the Cultural Line for the Kingdom left the printer's for destinations across the USA on December 14, all autographed whether requested or not. That was part of the pre-publication sale which has now ended. The bad news is there is no longer free shipping. The good news is you can order online and have the book delivered to many places internationally. So, order away!
Actually a number of those first-order books were destined for international locations - first shipped to a USA address and then sent by someone else to the customer living in ---- well, we won't say!
Some customers have already received their copies and are giving me chapter-by-chapter feedback. You are welcome to do so as well by emailing me at nightshift@fannocreekpress.com. "Wow," "Cool," and even "Groovy," are acceptable, depending on your age, but most helpful are more specific comments like "such-and-such was good because..." or "I didn't follow [fill in the blank] - will that come up again in a later chapter or could you throw some more light on it?" You get the idea.
One specific bit of feedback I heard last evening was that the case studies at the end of each chapter are really helpful because they put the discussion into real life for the reader. As I note in the back of the book, all the case studies are real people. Details, including names, have been altered in every case but one, to protect identities. But the stories are all true.
So keep the feedback and the orders coming! And if you want your copy autographed, be sure to mention your request and who will be the recipient of the book (if it is not you).
