Your stories have inspired me, they reignited my own creative passions and they've been a reliable source of entertainment and comfort over the past couple of years, and they've been some pretty rough years. Speaking of, as a rabid fan I know you tend to get stressed up leading up to a release because what if people don't like it or something along those lines right? I just wanna say even if this story doesn't end the way I want or expect it to that's totally fine, the journey you've shared with us the past few years has been amazing, it's made me laugh, it's made me cry, it's made me skip nights of sleep while I keep mumbling "just one more chapter" till the sun rises. No worries! Accidents happen, even to Monarchs, Judges and apparently Eldritch Lords of Oreo like yourself! Personally there is a 0% chance I'd get upset at my favorite author for something as silly as a paperwork issue so I really hope this little mixup hasn't added to your usual pre-release stress too badly. I'm sorry, and I still hope we can fix it. This is our biggest release ever, both for me and for you guys, and to let you down on this one is absolutely devastating. We've been doing pre-orders to prevent problems like this, so there won't be any errors in the upload process, and there still was. I will do everything I can to make sure it is available on or before the 6th. Is Waybound still coming out on June 6th? If your uncle is Jonathan Kindle, by all means give him a call. So unless we hear from someone at Kindle who knows the forbidden magic to get it back up, pre-orders are dead. You won't be charged either-the entire thing was canceled. If I pre-ordered the book, will I get it? Audible pre-orders are completely separate, and in fact you can still pre-order through Audible, and paperbacks didn't have a pre-order process so they're still unchanged. It does not! Only the ebook pre-order was affected. On the bright side, hey, we might get you the book early!ĭoes this affect audiobooks or paperbacks? Which is one of the major reasons why we did pre-orders in the first place. In that case, it'll come out on time or a little earlier, but it won't be exactly at midnight in your region like the pre-order would have been. If we don't, we'll be uploading the book manually. If we hear from them, I'll let you know immediately. We have calls out to different people at Amazon, and we're hoping they know a secret way to reverse all this. When something like that happens, Amazon automatically removes the file 72 hours before the listed release date. We had uploaded a manuscript and we had multiple people check it, to the point of going through it page-by-page to make sure there was nothing wrong.īut there was a final step we were supposed to complete, and our team member didn't know that. Obviously, that's a red alert around here.Īfter talking to a senior support specialist at Kindle and checking with our team members, we think it's OUR FAULT. I woke up this morning to a phone call that Waybound was down on the Kindle Store and people were getting messages that their pre-orders had been canceled. TL DR - Ebook pre-orders for Waybound have been canceled, and Amazon says there's nothing they can do about it.
