I've been getting several emails about whether the book will be available in the States. Short answer: I don't know. The book is published by HarperCollins CANADA. They (and we) have plans to try to sell the rights in the U.S. But it's not happening in the next month or two. I suspect we have to show that the book did really well in Canada first, and then the American publishers will be willing to consider also taking it on (and even that may be a long shot with the state of the economy down there).
I know the shipping cost is a real pain and I'm very sorry about that. Unfortunately, it's completely out of our hands (but hey! The cost of the book is only about $12 which converts to something like 75 cents American, right ;-))
And YES, the book DOES ship to the States, no problem, it's just a pain when you see that the shipping is as much as the book. <sigh>
Any thoughts on offering it as an e-book? I am in Germany, so I assume it will be awhile before this is available in Europe, either?
I’d second that question – I’m in the UK and the price to ship from Canada to here was huge!!! I’m desperate to read this book soon!!
I’d be happy to offer it as an e-book. I’ll look into it with the publishers. Meanwhile, if you guys want, I can see if the publishers are willing to directly ship to Europe for less cash than Amazon. Stay tuned…
Thanks Isabela (btw, Isabella is my non-sleeping daughter’s middle name…so I hold you partly responsible;-)
