Sam&Sam have embraced Ian Strathcarron’s kind advice to allow three months for marketing my book. The official date of publication, therefore, is 7 September. Shortly before that, a separate web-page and checkout will be available for buying the book online. Unless it arrives from the printer looking less good than we expect, it will cost £30 plus second class postage, which should total £32.95.
However, if you are one of the lucky readers who has been following this blog and therefore knows all about the book already, I can offer it to you for £30 including postage if you would like to contact me through my website http://patrickmileswriter.co.uk/ before 7 September. Payment will preferably be by cheque.
So, hopefully, by the end of this week we shall be able to start sending out review and advance copies, as well as those that have been preordered at the reduced price. Please be patient, as we have a long list to work through! The basic principle of despatching will be alphabetical, and you will certainly receive your copy within six weeks.
I will say more about marketing, sales, advertising, signings, talks, Amazon etc in an Announcement when we have received and checked all the books.
Today is the 103rd anniversary of George Calderon’s death at Gallipoli. I shall mark the occasion at 12.05 p.m., but a number of things have conspired to return me to thinking about the War and its victims generally. I am sure I am not alone in brooding on it as the centenary draws to a close. I will post again about the commemoration before long.
