"a gripping, thought-provoking tale"

"a novel I am loath to put down. A most surprising read. Quite a ride"

"fast-paced and engrossing"

"RealmShift is phenomenal. If it’s not already on your bookshelf it should be."

MageSign

"a fast-paced ride through a visceral reality"

"a fast paced supernatural adventure that will leave readers rethinking how they view the Cosmos"

"a gritty tale of blood rituals, mystery, and mysticism… grabs hold of the reader and doesn’t let go"

"fantastic qualities … horrific at times... I highly recommend it"

"Alan Baxter takes the reader right to the edge and then pushes us over. And I thank him for it."

Ghost Of The Black

"Excellent pacing"

Wise Words

"Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and dreams are the shadow-truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes, and forgot." - Morpheus, The Sandman - Dream Country (Neil Gaiman)

"A powerful agent is the right word. Whenever we come upon one of those intensly right words in a book or a newspaper the resulting effect is physical as well as spiritual, and electrically prompt." - Mark Twain

"At the beginning there was the Word - at the end just the Cliche." - Stanislaw J Lec

Kindle editions are back

October 10, 2009

Amazon seem to have finally started catching up with their backlog of emails and I’m happy to say that the Kindle editions of RealmShift and MageSign are available again. The price now matches the Smashwords and DriveThru price of US$2.89 each. That’s less than a cup of coffee! It also looks like they’ve kicked in this bloody stupid region coding plan, so if you’re looking from Australia, for example, you won’t see pricing information and there’s a nice green box telling you that you can’t have a copy. Of course, in that case you just go to Smashwords and buy DRM-free Kindle compatible editions from there. Seriously, Amazon just do not get it sometimes.

However, there’s also talk of Amazon rolling the Kindle reader out to other countries very soon, at least including the UK and Aus. When that happens, given that we have no amazon.com.au, I’m interested to see how they handle this situation. Time will tell.

You can find the Amazon Kindle editions of RealmShift here and MageSign here. Tell your friends.

Hi – found your question on Kindle Australia.

Amazon now has an option on the side (just added a day or two ago)that identifies if you’re not from the US and lets you change your country.

It then changes what books are available. This is on the main Amazon site.

Yes, Amazon did have to renegotiate book rights, which was a large part of the delay and why the number of titles varies.

if you have more questions just leave a comment on my blog.

abhi – thanks for the comment. What if you are in the US and it says it’s not available there? This has happened with my books.
