THE FIRES OF THE GODS has gone on sale in the U.S.

[I. J. Parker]

I tried for a cover image, but the new system balks (the add-image screen is partially covered up). Why do I have such problems with this?

 

The release times of my books apparently no longer rely on the dates set by my publisher.  THE FIRES OF THE GODS went on sale in the UK in December (as planned).  The U.S. edition was not scheduled to go on sale until April, but here it is already.  Amazon has started shipping.

 

This appears to be my last book, fans notwithstanding.  Sigh!  I need a miracle.

They are all related to Japan.  :)  Thanks much for the offer.  Whatever cross promotion is, I'm interested. The problem is that there seems to be some sort of hang-up at my agent's office.  Something to do with protecting my rights.  I had no idea that this would be so complicated.

I think that you will do well with e-books.  If any are related to Japan, let me know and maybe we can do some cross-promotion.

Oh, Naomi, it is good to hear from you.  Thank you, and may your year also be a good one in every way. Very sorry to hear about your father's illness.  I hope that too will improve quickly. I had no idea that you were having such a stressful time.

Not sure if you know, but FoG is my last book with a publisher.  My agent's office is supposed to be helping me with electronic publications.  I have a number of titles that could be marketed.  So I'm crossing fingers.

Hello, I.J.!

 

I've been away for so long.  I had a temporary day job and then my father got ill.  (He's still hanging in there!)  But I'm getting back to making connections via the web.

 

I hope for good things for you in 2011!
