... for Meyrueis and the Jacques Forêt series ...
... My first Publisher, Crooked Cat, who later became Darkstroke, decided to close their business down effective from Septmeber 30th last year .
I quickly found a new publisher, Northodox Press, and signed a new contract in January. My previously published books were submitted for re-publication, and Meyrueis, book seven in the series, was completed and submitted.
But things have changed at Northodox Press, too. Yesterday, Northodox formally announced their change of direction in publishing, all of which means that my cosy crime books are no longer a good fit for their future publishing requirements.
Having spent twenty years working in business, I know that we all have to adapt and adjust to changing market forces. And that is what I have been doing. Meyrueis will be a little delayed in making its appearance. I had hoped that it would be available on Amazon by now. But, look out for it in the New Year. I also hope to have some news on the re-release of my first four books, so watch out for another post on my blog in the coming weeks and more information here on the website.
... some important dates for your diaries ...
