We were promised the book in early Mar/11 and in early June/11, she replied to say she was out of author copies and didn't have another book out till Nov/11, but will forward a foreign copy in meantime if it's in English.

From the author point of view I'll admit that after I mail a book out, due to time constraints, I don't typically follow up to see if people receive them. I have yet to notified any of my books did not arrive. Fingers crossed they all get where they need to be!
