Queen of the Forest update

Hi all,

Due to a problem with the pre-order, Queen of the Forest (book two of Hearts of Dragons) will be published under a new ASIN.

You can find it here:
Queen of the Forest

Searching it on Amazon will also pick up the correct book. I've made it live a few days early, to compensate!

Thank you!
Gareth. Read more of this blog post »
