Oh wait, I'm finding more and more emails from Mackie Jonroe (via Kickstarter):
TOOT TOOT! BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT!
Hello lovely readers and backers. I can only apologise profusely for the delay in the Kickstarter edition of Cooking On A Bootstrap - I have been ridiculously busy with a lot of balls in the air, and on top of that, my health has been pretty rubbish recently. I spent last weekend in A&E. I've been sick on and off for months. I've had dark spells of depression and immobility..................blah blah......
And as an apology for the delay, I will be sending every single backer a signed print of one of the illustrations from Cooking On A Bootstrap, to say thankyou for bearing with me, and for understanding, and for supporting.
I'm hugely sorry if anyone is disappointed by the delay - I am my own biggest critic and have been beating myself up emotionally about it for weeks - but I would rather deliver a brilliant, tested, proof read, joyous book a little late, than a rushed, sloppy useless one on time. It was always going to be ambitious. I have learned a lesson about taking too much on and overestimating the number of hours in a week (I currently work around 90!), and I hope you'll love it.
(If anyone is so disappointed that they want a refund on the book, please email me directly on
[email protected]and we can sort it out. I will be happy to try to resolve it, and will donate your pledged-for copy as part of the libraries and schools scheme instead.)
