I hope this email finds you doing very well.

** I have a favor to ask of you, so please read this entire update **

It's been a while since I sent my previous update.

My publisher assures me the release date for my novel remains unchanged at October 9th. However, the publisher informed me that it may require 2-3 weeks for our initial order of copies to be fulfilled. This means that you may not receive your copy/ies of my novel until late October or hopefully early November at the latest. I greatly appreciate your patience; I know it's been a very long while since you ordered your copy/ies of my novel.

Lastly, my publisher is currently at the onset of actively promoting my novel. I can really use your help to enhance my ability to sell more copies of the book, therefore enabling me to donate more money to amazing causes helping our planet and pets & people worldwide. I recently created an account on the Goodreads.com web site. This web site was created to help authors gain awareness for their novels. I will be sending you a request to become my 'friend' in Goodreads via Facebook. It would mean the world to me if you would please accept my friend request.

If you have any questions / concerns regarding my request, please email me and I'll do my best to address them.

Thank you again for all of your support, and I'm excited to be in the final stretch regarding production of my novel!

Steve.
