Sold Out

lizadmin — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 20:02:05 +0000

I’ve had some readers contact me wondering why The Paradise Will wasn’t appearing on the Robert Hale web-site. Having queried this, I’m pleased to say that due to heavy demand, the current print run of The Paradise Will has sold out at the publishers!

There are a very few copies still available via Amazon and The Book Depository. Alternatively, please contact Robert Hale Ltd through their contact page here to place pre-orders for additional print runs. They will reprint if enough advance orders are received via their web site, or from other sellers such as Amazon

Huge thanks to everyone who has ordered to date and made The Paradise Will a success.

As promised, here’s more news on my collection of three short stories, Midsummer Eve at Rookery End…

Publication date will be 31st March 2009 and Midsummer Eve at Rookery End will be available in both e-book and paperback from E-scape Press Ltd. Their web-site address is www.escapewithabook.com and the site will be going ‘live’ in the next few days. I’ve had a sneak peak at the web-site and it looks great!

Price for the e-book will be just £2.79 and £4.99 for the paperback. The e-book can be ordered and downloaded from E-scape in minutes

The paperback edition is also listed on Amazon UK, Amazon.com and The Book Depository, although the price currently shown on Amazon is incorrect and will be updated to £4.99 soon.

Please note, though, that it’s best to order direct from E-scape Press as their delivery will be much quicker.

I’m really excited about the launch of these short stories! If you enjoyed the excerpt from Siren’s Daughter why not buy Midsummer Eve at Rookery End and find out what happens next?
