As of 9:12 am, EST, 3/11/13, March came in like a lamb here today – plenty of sunshine and a Carolina blue sky. We are back to our usual production and shipping schedule, which means in the United States, printed books will arrive about a week from when you order (keep in mind that books are not produced on Saturday and Sunday).
Outside the USA, delivery will take an extra couple of days.
And ebooks are delivered electronically anywhere within hours.
(Prior post) As of 9:42 am, EST, 2/14/13, — Happy Valentine’s Day! We hope it is a great one for you!
Today, only ebooks and Gift Cards are still available for Valentine’s Day delivery and will be delivered as quickly as possible – within 24 hours of when you order.
We have just notified all the customers who ordered that their books have been shipped. You are welcome to read our prior posts to check notices and updates as to dates, deadlines and information.
As it turned out, the massive snow storm in the Northeast did affect our production and subsequent shipping – as it did for the USPS in their getting the books out of the Northeast and on their way. Weather and its ramifications remain beyond human control and as we have stated throughout our posts this year and in the past, we are not responsible for weather events.
If you have any concern about your order, please email comments @ yournovel dot com, and we will respond as soon as we can. We will be checking our phone messages, but your best option is to email us so we can research your question and get back with you with an answer.

Prior post: As of Saturday, 2/9/13 at 8 pm EST, we are processing orders, but as stated in our last post, only orders using the US Express shipping option can be delivered by Valentine’s Day – Thursday, February 14th.
Print books ordered by Sunday, Feb 10, 7:00 pm EST with the US Express Mail option will reach you by Valentine’s Day, Thursday, Feb. 14, in the U.S. A. This is ONLY if you choose the US Express Mail option which is $23 extra – Express is $30; regular shipping is $7 so $23 is the additional cost). This is only if the weather does not get in the way. If weather causes a delay in the USPS delivery, it is beyond our control.
And here’s a Special Offer to get an Upgrade to US Express Shipping:
Purchase any two (2) print books by Sunday, Feb 10, 7:00 pm, EST and choose Standard US PRIORTY Shipping ($7.00 per book), and we will manually upgrade your shipping to US Express. That should by Thursday, Feb. 14, Valentine’s Day – if the weather does not get in the way. If weather causes a delay in the USPS delivery, it is beyond our control.
A quick, inexpensive option is to think eBook. We have 20+ titles starting at $14.95 that are delivered within hours to your email as a pdf, which you can reemail, put on a thumb drive, read on your computer, or print out. Settings for some of the eBooks include Paris, Hawaii, a dude ranch, a Caribbean cruise, Dublin, Exuma, the golf course, and the vampire series.
If your lover reads on a Nook or a Kindle, this is a great option. If you’ve never tried one, this may be your time ($14.95 for a personalized story where you star with your Hunny in a sexy, romantic story verses a dozen roses – duh, no brainer).
Valentine’s is Thursday, February 14. Your books can be delivered right up until that day and still be there by Valentine’s Day.
Calling about where you book is will not help it go any faster. You will get a quicker response if you email us with questions, making sure to put your order number in the subject line.
Weather and disasters are always beyond our power, and severe weather has arisen across the country. We cannot be held accountable for delivery problems caused by circumstances beyond our control, and we wish everyone clear skies and great weather.
Previously posted: As of Thursday, 2/7/13 at 9 pm EST, books are coming in and getting processed in a very timely fashion, but as of now, no out-of-country printed books can be delivered for Valentine’s Day. Ebooks are no problem.
As to printed books in the US, Standard Orders might reach you, but it will be close and absolutely no guarantee comes with that. The only way book delivery will be guaranteed is if US Express is chosen as the shipping method. That will hold until Sunday, February 10th.
If you want to guarantee deliver from now on, you will have to order using US Express Shipping, not Standard Shipping. This will cost you more, but it will guarantee delivery until a notice gets posted otherwise.

For out-of-country books, tomorrow – February 6 – will be the cutoff date for Valentine’s delivery.
It looks like Thursday, February 7 at 3:00 pm EST will be the cutoff point for printed books using Standard Shipping to arrive via USPS mail to destinations in America. That is not a guarantee, however; just an educated estimate of how long it will take to make the books, get them packaged, and get them to customers all over the USA.
