After what seemed like weeks of delays (in fact it was delayed about 2 weeks) my first novel, Ordinary Monsters, has been released onto an unsuspecting world. I have received a copy and I am very impressed with both the cover, the back cover text and the print quality inside.
Odd to see it sitting on my desk, a proper book and all! Been a long time between the original idea (which I had some time back in the early 90's) and the final printed copy.
Cool is the word I am looking for :) It feels cool.
At the moment, because it has only just been published, it's difficult to get hold off, depending really on where you live. People living in America have reported to me they got the book a say or two after ordering it through Amazon.com. While people in the UK have told me that Amazon.co.uk have sent them an email saying they don't yet have a firm delivery date!
Come on Amazon.co.uk. Get it together.
I've no idea when or even if it will appear in bookshops. This is something that I can update here on this blog, but for the moment I would say that this book, like many others these days, is an online sale only.
So, here are some links to the various places you can buy this book: It can be ordered from Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com by going to my home page and clicking on the Buy button, which gives me a referral fee as well, which means I earn a few pennies more as a starving writer ;)
Click here - then click on the .CO.UK or .COM buy button

So, plug over. I am just so proud of this book I have to tell everyone... If you read about a crazy person arrested in Oxford for telling strangers about a book, that'll be me :)
