Apologies to North American/Kindle readers

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to take a minute to apologize to all the American and Canadian readers who have been messaging me and asking why my new novel 'Husk' hasn't been very easy to acquire. I know you've been having problems finding copies of it in bookstores and getting hold of ebook versions.

Allow me to explain...

Unfortunately, 'Husk' is only available in bookstores and as an e-book in the United Kingdom and its territories, due to the fact that Penguin UK are the primary publishers and North American rights have not been picked up at present time (which I do hope changes soon, but that is based on the book's popularity). It's an unfortunate territorial situation that makes the novel's international availability more complicated than it should be.

But on a better note, physical copies of the book can be ordered in the US and Canada from Amazon.com. I do hope you pick up a copy at the following link :)

Thanks & Happy Reading!
