A SPLENDID DEFIANCE new paperback
A brand-new paperback edition of the extended/revised version of
A Splendid Defiance
is now available from Amazon and the Createspace e-store.
Due to inquiries from some readers, the e-version of A Splendid Defiance is now available as a paperback.
This has been done through Createspace, a branch of Amazon which prints books on demand. The charges for publishing in this way are quite high and these account for the £8.99 price tag. However, very few new copies of my novels as originally published still exist and, of those that do, some are being marketed at hugely inflated prices. For example, a new copy of the 1992 paperback of The Black Madonna will set you back a minimum of £208.67 – which is a totally unacceptable price for someone who, like me, merely wants a hard copy on their bookshelf.
Although I don’t expect there to be a huge demand for new paperbacks, I am considering gradually releasing my other titles in this format – the next in line being The Black Madonna. Naturally enough, as its author, I want a hard copy of The King’s Falcon to sit alongside its predecessors!
Having seen the proof of A Splendid Defiance, I’m pleased to say that the book has been well-produced as a large-format paperback and feels very substantial.
As always, any thoughts or opinions on this (or any other) matter will be welcome.
