Disappointed
I know what it is like to be disappointed – after all I am Scottish – Euro 2024. Cricket T20 world cup, 6 nations rugby etc. However these disappointments are nothing compared to spending over a year writing The Empress, investing in its editing and publication and then when it becomes available, nobody shows any interest.

The Trilogy
I wonder if anyone can help me understand
2,300 readers have given the first book in the trilogy The Emperor, The Son and The Thief a 5* rating but few seem to go on to read and enjoy the other two books in the series so I do not expect much interest in Volume 4 - The Empress.
Interestingly the 170 readers who have given The Thief 5* do seem to have read all 3 books

The Empress
Well the paperback is now available on Amazon
You might think it a bit pricy at £16.25. The Kindle will follow and be much cheaper. The paperback is 826 pages so should last your whole holiday with one journey to Kermin, Amina, and The Aramin Forest. £3.75 cheaper than 2 400 page books priced at £9.99 each.

Get ready for the grand release of the next novel, "The Empress", launching in just one week on June 7th. This fourth instalment in the thrilling trilogy, "The Emperor, The Son, and The Thief", will transport you to a world of wonder and intrigue.
In the trilogy The Emperor, The Son and The Thief a young man called Audun discovers that he is the illegitimate son of Alberon, King of Kermin and Doran, the Emperor of the North. With the help of an ancient alchemist’s malign spirit Audun reclaims his rightful inheritance and banishes his step-mother, the Empress Sylva, and his step-brothers, Aaron and Elrik, to the Empress’s brother’s court in Tamin. Kingship turns out to be a poisoned chalice for Audun and he abdicates. The step-brother Aaron is the rightful successor to his father’s thrones but ancient marriage promises create threats and opportunities. Sylva decides to take a risky opportunity, but it is a misstep. When her brother, Bertalan, discovers her scheme he sends Sylva into exile on a remote island where she seems destined to spend the rest of her life.
However, the rights of thrones are complicated and Sylva has unexpected allies who will support her, if she can escape exile and if she can find her sons. The Empress is Sylva’s story.

To Read Shelf
Can somebody educate me please - 16,000+ on to read shelves but they seem to remain "to read"
Rather than "read" or even "purchased"
