    Watch your mailbox for 'Delta Green: Through a Glass, Darkly'

    Thank you for supporting Delta Green: Through a Glass, Darkly!

    All unautographed copies have shipped to supporters worldwide and most have reached their destination already. Some copies being sent outside the U.S. are taking longer to arrive than we'd like, thanks to the vagaries of international shipping services, but we're hearing from fans around the world who have gotten the book. If you are still waiting, your book ought to arrive soon. If you are inside the U.S. and still waiting, please email shane.ivey@gmail.com so we can double check its status.

    Author Dennis Detwiller is slowly working through the autographed copies. All have been signed and most have been shipped, but he still has a few to mail out as time allows.

    Thanks again for your support ofThrough a Glass, Darkly. We look forward to making more announcements soon of great new books from Arc Dream Publishing.

    Dennis is signing and packing the autographed copies now. He had a bit of a delay in getting sick the week before last but I understand he's better now and is autographing away. Shipping notices: The warehouse is *supposed* to send a shipping notice and tracking number with each delivery, but often they don't so it's likely for the book to arrive before notice of it. If you were not waiting on an autographed copy, yours probably should have arrived by now. If it has not, please email shane.ivey@gmail.com and I'll investigate.

    Now shipping: 'Delta Green: Through a Glass, Darkly'

    I am very excited to announce that the hardcover edition of Dennis Detwiller's new novel "Delta Green: Through a Glass, Darkly" is now shipping! 

    A large number of books are being shipped so it will take a week or two to process them all. And it will take a little longer to reach customers outside the U.S., and for the autographed copies to reach Dennis and then ship out again with his signature. 

    But starting this week or next week we should start seeing the book reach supporters' hands. 

    Thank you for your support of Delta Green. We'll have more exciting announcements very soon.

    Back on track!

    Shane Ivey here from Arc Dream Publishing. I want to apologize for being incommunicado on this project for a while. I've had my hands full and more than full with a lot of other things for weeks. But we're diving fully into the PDF and paperback release of GODLIKE now.

    A number of GODLIKE fans volunteered a while back to each proofread a section of the hardback edition to point out errors for correction in the PDF and paperback release in exchange for a free copy of the final PDF. That process starts this week. If you'd like to contribute, please send email to shane.ivey@gmail.com. We will love all the help we can get.

    I really, really look forward to making this great game available in PDF and paperback very soon. Just this past weekend I hosted a GODLIKE game at a local convention in Birmingham, Alabama, for a couple of old buddies and a couple of newcomers. They played American Talent commandos spearheading a half-considered OSS scheme to capture Rommel on the road from Germany D-Day. All of them had a blast. And that's been my experience with every single GODLIKE game I've ever run. I can't say that about many games. I'm proud to keep it out there and to keep developing new material for it, slow as that can sometimes be.

    Thanks again for supporting GODLIKE!

    Heading to the warehouse!

    The printer expects to ship the hardcover printing of Delta Green: Through a Glass, Darkly to our U.S. warehouse on Wednesday, October 19.

    It will take a few days to reach the warehouse, then another few days to be processed. Then we'll start shipping copies to the U.K. warehouse for overseas orders, to Dennis for autographing copies for our top supporters, and to you.

    Thanks again for your support of Delta Green: Through a Glass, Darkly!

    Sources have uncovered an unbound press proof of the hardcover edition of Delta Green: Through a Glass, Darkly. A covert photo is attached. It is real!

        Obviously faked by collaborators with alien intelligences.

    Good question! Those will go to Dennis first for signing and reshipping, so that will add a couple of weeks.

    The hardcover ETA

    The printer for the limited hardcover edition of Delta Green: Through a Glass, Darkly estimates it will ship to our warehouse on October 14. 

    After that it will take a few days to reach the warehouse, then a few days to be processed, so I expect it to start shipping to U.S. backers in the last week of October (Happy Halloween!) and to backers outside the U.S. a couple of weeks after that. 

    After it's been shipped to all backers, we'll make it available for sale to everybody else in hardback and paperback. That ought to be mid to late November.

    Thanks again for your support of Delta Green: Through a Glass, Darkly!

        How much will autographing the books delay shipping?
