Changes to Publication Dates

Due to the Coronavirus my publishers have decided to make some changes to the publication dates for forthcoming books in order to cater to market demand. This will affect two of my forthcoming publications, Crystal (digital) and Vendetta (print).

I’ll start with the good news – we could all do with some of that at the moment. The publication date for Crystal is to be brought forward from early June to 7th May, which means it’s less than four weeks away – yippee! This is because book demand at the moment is predominantly for digital books rather than print due to book shops being closed. Here’s the Amazon link for pre-orders:

Here’s the not so good news.
A print version of Vendetta was previously scheduled for 7th May and was due to be stocked by book shops. However, due to the closure of book shops print demand has fallen by 80%. Therefore, the print launch date has been deferred. Currently the new date is August but this might change depending on the effects of lockdown. I will let you know as soon as I have updates.
It is still possible to order a print version on Amazon at: http://bit.ly/2GSlhZp by following the link and selecting the ‘paperback’ option.

Take care, stay safe and happy reading.

That’s exciting news, Heather. I didn’t realise print sales had fallen so much but it certainly makes sense. Let’s hope everything returns to normal soon. Have a good weekend.

Thanks for your comments, Guy. I don’t know what the figures are for the market in general although I did read something that suggests the figures are lower than that. I think it depends which markets the publishers are selling to. I would imagine that sales to supermarkets are unaffected but my publishers don’t make many sales through supermarkets.
