New novel ‘Stormy Weather’ now on KIndle
December 27, 2011
I am delighted to report that in the absence of a print edition Stormy Weather is now available as a Kindle e-book from: http://tinyurl.com/6mhg8y2
I am sorry that no UK publisher has seen its way to publish an English print edition.
Best wishes to you all.

I am so excited to have bought this novel. I am reading it at the moment and loving it.
Thank goodness it has been published.My friends are buying ereaders so they can read this book.
Cheers, Leone
I am delighted to have a new book by you in any format whatsoever – though I wish I could have a physical copy on my shelf! I have purchased it and am enjoying it so very very much…!
I am really sorry to hear about the no paper edition.
Any chance the ebook will be for sale on other places than amazon? Kobobooks, smashwords, something else?
I am in mainland Europe, I always get redirected to buy ebooks from Amazon US. Amazon US detects through IP where a person is ( or later through where their credit card is issued) and often refuses to sell ebooks, or when they do sell, they add a hidden fee to price ( and stick a big ” free international wireless delivery via Amazon Whispernet” next to price, which is just a lie. They always had a few extra dollars). Meaning, I want to buy your book, and I might, but I would so prefer to not buy it from amazon. It´s not the extra dollars, it´s how angry I get when they refuse to sell me a book, or I have to look at that ” free international wireless delivery via Amazon Whispernet” whenever I buy something and know I am paying more).
For your information, right now if I use an american IP, your book costs 8.99. My normal IP is 12.64 USD – but I have not tried buying it yet, so not sure if they sell it.
Shame some of us have to buy a ‘kindle’ just to read it!
I have copies of all of your novels upon my groaning bookshelves.
I suppose this is what some folks call progress ?
For me, I love the look, feel and smell of “proper books ” !
cheers, david
You make me feel sad that I have an iPad rather than a kindle, as I don’t know how to access your new book. Please tell me why any publisher would refuse to publish a book by such an excellent author. Is it a financial issue? I live in Canada and I was able to order the last book, Kissing Frogs, through Amazon. I’ll keep in touch here and hope for some good news about wider access to the latest book. Thank you for providing me with so many hours of pleasure and amusement.
Hello Elinor, good to hear from you. Yes, as usual it’s all about money. Supermarkets are now the biggest book retailers in the UK and they have very limited shelf space in each store by comparison with the traditional book shop but many more stores. Also a third to a half of their titles are non-fiction …cookery books footballers memoirs, that kind of thing …and the fiction tends to be beach reads. The result is the publication of fewer titles with a much larger print run. We midlisters …ie doing quite nicely (or we were) with quite good sales (Kissing Frogs sold 20,00 to supermarkets) but not huge best sellers, are out on our ear. Very discouraging but thank goodness for e-books. You can get a free Kindle app by going to the iPad apps. So my husband says and he is clued up about these things. I am a blundering idiot, I’m afraid, hence late reply to your very kind email as I lost it in the ether. Kindest regards, Victoria
I am a huge fan and have just downloaded Stormy Weather. I must admit that my Kindle is my best friend and so I love to find the books I want to read in e-form.
