Hooray!

(Do you happen to know if the Amazon version will be available in the former colonies?)

I am working on working about what format changes I have to make, at which point my complete works will appear on Kindle, and I will of course become incredibly rich.

Andrew Rilstone said...

Yup, Lulu stuff appears on Amazon.com as well as Amazon.co.uk. Should take about six weeks, assuming Mr Issbn doesn't find something to complain about in the formatingg.

Gosh, Lulu is quick though.

I ordered my copy of 'Do Balrogs have wings' on Saturday and received it today.
