These are available at the pre-order price of £7.50 for the pair (normal price £8.00). They won't be shipped for a fortnight.
As some of you know, Bad Squiddo is very much a one-person shop. As anyone who has tried to run a business on their own knows, such businesses are even more at the mercy of Real Life than others. Earlier this year, Annie had to make an unexpected move from Cardiff to Nottingham, finding new premises and shifting stock etc. This coincided with the planned dispatch of her latest Kickstarter, which was well and truly effed-up. That led to a backlog of orders, a huge backlog of e-mail (many of them negative). Given that Annie has moved away from her support network and the part-time staff she had, this all fell on her shoulders: her health has suffered.
The other problem caused by these backlogs is one of cashflow - fatal to small businesses. Despite that, Annie made the decision not to release anything from her new releases queue until she could promise dispatch withing a reasonable period. Annie is a good sort. If her stuff appeals to you, I urge you to put an order in and help her out.
Very nice indeed. I had no idea of Annie's troubles, certainly all my dealings with her have been exemplary.
ReplyDeleteI don't mean to overstate things. I have no inside knowledge, and I have no indication that she's in danger of crashing and burning. I just know what an aweful setback something can be for a sole trader.
