Not two days after my last post and the publishers (Unsung Stories) and I have decided to delay the publication date of Threading the Labyrinth three months, to July 13. This was, in part, because yesterday Amazon UK removed the pre-order option for the physical book, explaining that in light of the C-19 emergency they were shifting attention away from shipping physical books; weirdly, today that option had re-appeared o the site. But with things in so much flux, it's likely that it might disappear again.
Plus, even though big retailers such as Waterstones are still open, indie book shops have closed for the time being, and they're an important outlet for books form indie presses. So to help my book be as successful as possible, it's best to delay the launch and, hopefully, be able to do in-person events in a few months and easily get the books out to readers. The Apocalypse isn't messing around!
But one cool thing: pre-ordering directly from Unsung Stories, the publisher, gets you the book three weeks early! Nifty incentive, no?
