From a raven-named fan --
Who ordered TATAF on 5 December to arrive by the Solstice with an Amazon original expected delivery date of 16 Dec, only to be confounded by an emailed delay-notice and an updated ETA of 21 Dec itself.
Since the new tracking showed a late afternoon ship-date of 18 Dec, that seemed unlikely.
Lo! What was on my Newark snowy stoop the morning of the 21st?
My new Lamplighter!
When flipping through the volume for the cover credit it I noted that it had been printed 17 Dec 2017 in Middletown, Delaware.
(Of course, Amazon ludicrously shipped it to Swedesboro, New Jersey first, 25 miles past my house and back again, but against stupidity the Gods Themselves contend in vain.)
I think I wrote all this in a LJ message to you at the time but since you didn't respond, I don't think you review those anymore.
Any 'hoots, thank you most appreciatively for writing this in time for me to celebrate Yule.

Sorry! I thought I was getting my messages, but I was not. Will try to fix that.
Hope you enjoy the book!
