As of five minutes ago, the very last shirt to have been returned to me due to mailing issues (in this case, the person changed addresses) has been re-sent. (If you're wondering if this is you, the initials are "JA.") I now have no shirts from printing #1 waiting to be delivered. The lovely Deborah has emailed everyone who reported non-delivery of their shirts to see whether this has been resolved. As soon as we hear back from them, we'll be submitting printing #2 to the shirt shop for production.

The shipping plans for printing #2 are much more organized than they were for printing #1, because we can be taught. We'll be having an all-day shirt packing party, with typeset labels, culminating in becoming an urban legend at the local post office. ("And then they came in with three hundred envelopes...the horror...") I can't guarantee that we won't have another "some of the shirts are missing" issue, and while the shirt shop dealt with this quickly, it did create some printing delays. Still, I will keep you posted, and the goal is a two-day drop for all shirts.

Thank you very much for your patience, and please let Deborah know if you have any questions or problems.

I am really, really happy about the fact that "Lost" has just been reprinted in Lightspeed Magazine. "Lost" was originally published in Ravens in the Library, and it was, through accident of timing, my very first physical publication (I had one story printed first, "Let's Pretend," but that was and has remained web-only). It's a story about pirates, and children, and running away, and what it costs to have everything you wanted, and how much of that cost is paid by the people you leave behind. I love it a lot. And you can read it again now, if you missed it the first time.

Lightspeed also did an author spotlight on me, to talk about the story:

Finally, for right now, I've published another poem, "Wounds," in the June issue of Apex. It's about wizards, and mermaids, and the price of magic, and how much we hurt each other.

And that's June!
