Deltatimes.com will roll over to AEG. In the meantime, keep submitting your stuff to the truth@deltatimes.com. Eventually, I'll be getting the stuff directly.

Sometimes we get some bad bindings from the printer. Most copies stand up well to all but serious use/abuse. If you have a problem with your book, send it in to the address in the front of the book, and we'll replace your defective copy. Sorry for the hassle.

If you like what you've seen about BNW so far, you'll continue to like it under AEG. I'm actually going to continue to develop the line for AEG personally, so there should be little if no change in the level of quality (take that for what you will ;) ). 

As for Defiants being late, that falls squarely on my shoulders. Things like working out the details of the split have occupied a great deal of my time, unfortunately, but the book is getting done. It should now release in November, with Delta Prime in December. 

This is a bit of a crazy time for me personally, but I am dedicated to getting quality BNW product out as close to on schedule as possible. I expect to be entirely back on track by as early as January.

And thanks for the kind words, Shane! I didn't realize you were following this list. ;)
