Hi, everyone.

Another quick update to let you all know that I didn’t give up on the mailing list and resolving the issues roughly a third of you were having with the signup process. My apologies that things have dragged out this long, I’ve been sick since Christmas Eve, so I’m not firing on all cylinders. Nothing that some rest won’t fix now that Katie convinced me to go in to the doctor this morning.

I’ve got a question in to tech support, which will hopefully help, but from experience in my past lives I know that intermittent problems like this are always the hardest to troubleshoot. Because of that, I’ve gone ahead and changed the e-mail list over to a single opt in configuration. That means that there isn’t any confirmation e-mail to worry about. Once you enter your e-mail address into the form on my site, you’re on the list and you should receive the e-mail with the coupon codes for Torn and Thawed Fortunes a few minutes after that.

That should fix the problem of people not being able to sign up, which only leaves the question of what to do about everyone who tried to sign up over the last two weeks but had problems with the confirmation link.

I don’t want anyone who tried to sign up for my mailing list to miss out on the free books that I promised them, so I’m going to go ahead and manually subscribe everyone who has tried to sign up for my mailing list but has not completed the e-mail confirmation step. Once that is done, I’ll send them an e-mail with the coupon codes on it and hopefully at that point everyone will be sorted out.

Thanks again for your patience during this process,

Dean
