honey and sting

To anyone who placed an order for my poetry book, Mercy, on amazon or Barnes and Noble, my deepest apologies. Amazon is now saying they are not able to fulfil any orders, and B&N has removed the listing entirely. It seems to be a problem with the distribution company, Baker and Taylor, but as I am not able to contact B&T myself, and my publisher seems to not be having any luck with them either, I have no idea when or if this problem is going to be fixed.

I'm mad as hell.

Mercy IS available directly from the publisher (http://www.hanfordmead.com/books/002,011.php) but I do appreciate how much more convenient amazon ordering is for a lot of people, and I'm really sorry people have been left hanging for weeks with their amazon orders, only to have them cancelled.

*sigh*
