Kayleigh asked M.C.A. Hogarth:

Good afternoon, A nice easy one to start with - what are your thoughts on the new EU VAT legislation, which has been affecting numerous sellers of digital goods, including, I believe, yourself, as you sell on Amazon? K. Webb

M.C.A. Hogarth It doesn't affect me much, since most of the sales I make into Europe go through a third party that's already assessing VAT (though it does mean that the prices of my books in the EU are going to go up, something that irritates me). However, my premonition is that it's going to cause a lot of people to preemptively stop selling into the EU because they're not going to want to do the paperwork, and I don't think that's any good for anyone. :/
