Freed at last!

Hi all- Jack Wylder here with an important announcement: Plushy Wendells have finally arrived at Outpost Hippo River!

(Please please don’t bug us about when they’re going to ship- we’re still recovering from getting all the coins and swag out in time for Christmas and we’re now going to have an actual Holiday. We will ship these out in the near future, but until they arrive please give us space. You’ve already been SO patient, please bear with us just a bit longer. Hoon!)

Also- if your address has changed since ordering, please please drop Jill an email at SwagHelp411@gmail.com NOW (don’t wait until you hear we’re in shipping mode)

This week, Larry and Steve discuss the difference between an homage and plagiarism- (PLUS Larry Reads a Dumb Tweet voice is back!)

Hey all- Jack Wylder here. My lovely and ever patient wife and partner in crime Jill put a post up on Facebook this morning that I wanted to share here for better visibility:

I need to request y’all have a bit more patience with us. The amount of emails I received in the past two days regarding coins has quadrupled and all the same theme.We are a small two person team Jack and I. We turn into a three person team for fulfillment with the help of 1 of 4 fantastic helper-bees. If your tracking email shows shipped but no movement in a few days please don’t worry. That just means the carton was too heavy for me to lift due to the large quantity of well… heavy metal. It had to wait for Jack to cart it to USPS or UPS after or before his day job. Your package is not necessarily lost. I literally cannot even call a package lost for 30 days per the carriers… Please Please have just a bit more patience, we are doing all we can as fast as we can to get those coin orders to you.
In regards to Wendell… Still no word and trust me we are even more anxious than you are. We never planned for this simple venture to turn into a 6 month nightmare. #FreeWendell

I’m using another vacation day today and we’re going to push hard to get the final orders out. To better explain the situation with the Wendell Plushies- US Customs has taken the shipment and put it in a secure location. We’ve been waiting for months now for them to make a decision on whether to let this many manatees into the country, but until they do there’s really not much we can do. Dolphins, man. Dolphins. I promise you we’ll let you know just as soon as we know anything- we’re even more frustrated than you.

Edited to add: All of the coin orders have now been processed- I’ll take them to the carriers first thing in the morning so they will hopefully all arrive before Christmas. Hooon!

The eARC for Servants of War by me and Steve Diamond is out now. (Steve is the other host on WriterDojo, so this is the book we’ve been talking about a lot if you are a listener)

For those of you who don’t know, an eARC is an Electronic Advanced Reader Copy. This is basically the early, preproduction version of a novel that would get sent out to book reviewers. Only Jim Baen discovered a long time ago that there was a market for readers who just didn’t want to wait several months for the actual book to come out, so Baen makes our eARCs available for sale.

Even if you don’t buy the eARC, the first ten chapters are there as a free sample.

There will be some typos and that sort of thing, but honestly my manuscripts tend to be really clean, and I’ve never had a major change between an eARC and the final product in all the years I’ve been doing this.

I hope you guys enjoy reading this as much as I did working on it.

This week we go through the rest of our supporter submitted questions. And I want to give a big thank you to all of you who back the podcast.
