Mar. 19: A note about Tangle on Amazon.com
Apparently, some Amazon.com customers who had pre-ordered Tangle have received an email stating that our anthology was a "hard to order" book. This email went on to ask whether or not each customer would like to cancel his or her order.
It looks like I got the situation straightened out. They are shipping their first copies of Tangle today and there are already two other shipments en route to their warehouse that shoue arrive any day.
I apologize for any inconvenience this might cause any of you who ordered Tangle from Amazon. Thank you for your patience!
