I spent some time last night and this morning uploading copies of The Thief’s Gamble to various online bookstores. Each time I do this, I am reminded of what a pain it is, and am more understanding of the various small publishers who don’t want to be bothered with my own store because it is yet another company to deal with. I try to make it easy for people by not demanding too much in the way of specific formats and procedures. Sadly all of the big boys have their own systems and procedures, and they are all different.

Anyway, Juliet is keeping an eye on things, and letting her readers know when the book appears in the various stores. I see that Nook and Kobo have been very swift. Robot Trading and Weightless Books should follow soon. And Amazon? Who knows. They are not easy to deal with. Fingers crossed everything will go smoothly this time, but there may be some angry blogging over the weekend.
