The supply chain issues that we have been hearing so much about have also affected publishers. The North American printing industry is in a real mess this fall, partly because of the shortage of bulk containers to get jobs that were done in China back here, which has resulted in the big houses bringing a lot of work back home, and partly because of financial difficulties at the two biggest US printers. This has resulted in a cascade of delays down through the chain, including here in Canada and at the big online printer Ingram. Not to mention problems with the containers once they hit the high seas.

So, because of the above, the publication date for my new book, The Caregiver’s Companion, been moved forward to January 15, 2022. I will let you know when the publisher will be able to take advance orders.
