Hi again: Can you please ask your publisher what is going on with the Quant series? I get my books from the library, who says your publisher is the most likely to be able to answer this. Anyway, two books so far (that's all we have of the series, probably because of this) I download e-book as usual, and get to my reader to find out that they're really pdf files. It took me two weeks to read the first one.

Hi Cybercrone
The issue if I understand your message correctly is that the eBooks are in PDF format rather than a more eReader-friendly format?
It could be that your library has somehow gotten a hold of unofficial versions of these ebooks.
The bad news is that the publisher of the Russell Quant books ceased operations several years ago and therefore cannot resolve this issue. Authors have very little power in correcting issues you've encountered and the existence of (potentially) bootleg versions of books.
The good news is that rights for the series have now reverted back to me. I am currently in the process of planning a re-release of the entire series which would include paperback, eBooks and likely audiobook versions as well. Currently the target re-release date for the series is May 1, 2026.
I realize this doesn't help you right now and I'm very sorry about that. I hate to disappoint readers, but am doing my best to make things right again.
Thanks for reading about Russell. I hope this unfortunate experience hasn't soured you on the series.

Do you really see small towns as you portray Beautiful? From growing up in one, I saw that anyone who was different was shunned, gossip - YES, and 3 generation feuds over a stolen (by listening in on the 22 party-line telephone) cake recipe just before the annual Strawberry Social.
