bloody American publishers

[Johnny Ostentatious]

I recently ordered Adrian Hyland's Moonlight Downs. It was published in his native Australia as Diamond Dove. It really pisses me off when publishers do shit like that! Apparently, there's some writer out there with a Dove series, which I never heard of before reading the review of Hyland's novel.

What also makes me see red is when publishers change the contents of a book. J.K. Rowling's American publisher did that with the Harry Potter series, like changing "defence" to "defense". What a bunch of U.S.A-holes!!!

Think I'm gonna have to start buying imports from England and Australia. . . .

The title is one thing - but I've said it before and I'll say it again WHAT'S WITH THE BIRD on the cover - a Dove's a Dove not a blasted raptor!
