I dropped an email to them, and they've been kind enough to put a short news article about the project and Another Sky in general.

We are still waiting on our shipment from the printer, though it's already up on Amazon. <br /> <br /> More info - we were supposed to receive our original proof in early April -- it didn't arrive until near the end of the month. Fortunately, it was golden - no revisions were necessary. We immediately placed our order... and now it's just a waiting game. We should have them any day now, and they will be immediately shipped out to everyone who ordered them, plus the complimentary copies to the authors and reviewers.<br /> <br /> As for not responding to your question -- I must have missed it? Was it emailed? Or on here? Hm... will check email -- things have been swamped here lately with two near simultaneous releases and we're playing catchup.<br /> <br /> Kristopher <br /> <br /> ps- Steve Quinlan (an author) already has a bunch of copies for the reading in San Fran -- we had the printer rush some to him. http://www.anothersky.org/asp/forums/topic/is-falling-from-the-sky-out-yet#post-428 Thu, 03 May 2007 08:19:15 +0000 superk 428@http://www.anothersky.org/asp/forums/ Hi all!<br /> <br /> I guess all you authors who succeeded in fitting into Falling must be excited to hold a copy of the anthology!<br /> <br /> The release date was May 1st and I know the date has been pushed a few times.

To be honest with our board members, I suggested, and went into, this project with my standards set low. Maybe I was a bit jaded by what I saw on the bestseller lists.
