We could have had it all...

Better late than never, and I'm in England, which makes a little tardiness forgivable (because I don't live here, not because the English are chronically tardy, although if one judges by my friends, the English are maybe a little chronically tardy), so...

Rolling in the Deep, my story of mermaids and deep sea exploration and why maybe combining the two is a bad plan, is out! Yay!

The print edition is already sold out at Subterranean Press's website! I, er. Less yay.

But! There are other ways to get this fabulous tale of sirens and slaughter. The eBook edition is available now, from many fine retailers. If you still want to have a physical copy to stroke and love and call your own, I have called Borderlands and confirmed that they have five copies (5) on order. (They might be able to get a few more from their distributor. It's all a matter of timing. So.)

If you want to get a physical copy of your very own, please call—don't email, as email can take a while to be answered—Borderlands Books at 415 824-8203. The books are en route and are definitely coming to the store. If they go quickly, the store will attempt to obtain more from their supplier, but cannot guarantee any additional stock at this time.

Mermaids!

Is the ebook version likely to become available outside the US? Apparently it's on Amazon.com but not amazon.com.au, alas.

And also not available in the UK either. On the internet there are no regional publishing issues (apart from translation issues). You can publish to the world no matter how small a press you are (if you want to thou...)

Except no, not necessarily. Buying World English is much more expensive, and most agents won't let it go unless there's been a proportionate increase in compensation. Subterranean is only just beginning to experiment with eBooks at all; they've been all about the small, lovely hardbacks up until now.

I do completely understand the frustration of "I can't get it and someone else can," but regional publishing issues still exist, because publishers don't have the rights to distribute in all regions.
