We have come to the beginning of October, the month A Southern Verse is supposed to be released. However, the publisher has notified me that, although the books are printed and ready to ship, they expect delays due to COVID, much like other industries. Because of this, the book's official release has changed to mid-November to avoid any extra delays in shipping.
In other news, I have decided to let everyone in on a little secret that I was going to keep until books were shipped. Each signed copy of the book will have a special gift (5x7 Print) included as a thank you for purchasing in advance. I was hoping this could be a surprise and that I'd be sending them out in the next week or so. However, due to the shipping delay, that will not be possible. The reason I'm telling you this now, though, is because, after 8 October, I will be discontinuing pre-sale SIGNED copies. All copies purchased after the 10th will not be signed, nor will they have the special gift. This change also includes ant higher-priced options with larger prints.
You will still be able to purchase the book through me after 8 October. However, these copies will not be signed and will not have the extra thank you surprise. These copies, though, will be available for $45. I will be offering this option starting today, but after the 8th, it will be the only option.
So, if you already ordered a copy, it will be signed and include a 5x7 print as gratitude for your support. Again, this offer is still available through 8 October!
If you only want the book, no signature, no print, it will be available until I run out of copies.
Thank you to everyone who has already bought a copy; your support means the world to me. Thank you as well to those who plan to buy a copy, with the extras or not!
