Eight days from publication and the mystery of pricing is upon me. If you pre-order A Prisoner of Birth from amazon you will only pay £9.99, and a week tomorrow you'll be able to buy it in Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and WHSmith, also for £9.99 - almost half price, which makes me wonder where the profit margin is for the bookseller. The supermarkets assure me that they'll still be making a pound a book, which is a damn sight better return than they make on baked beans or tomatoes. Well now you know. But hold your breath, because I'll have some surprise news for you on Friday.

Wild-wild guess........
If this information copies the example of 'Radiohead' with their recent album, this loyal fan will take a bad turn; I read all JA's books in a day, and would sooner pay top dollar and have a hard copy in my hands rather than a download...........
My Lord,
The nameless one makes a lot of sense.
Free shipping to India?
I just pre-ordered A Prisoner of Birth from Amazon USA. It is selling for $17.80, which is about the normal price for a new release from a bestselling author. I don't think there is a need to drop the price in the US.
Dear Jeffrey
The couple of paras about your book on your web page certainly grabbed my attention.
I look forward to reading your new book.
