It is, I tell you IT IS!
It’s like some sort of dream…
So here’s the thing – you can buy it now. From Amazon. Go to my Buy Now page AT ONCE – see, handy link provided – and do that One Click thing. That would make me smile.
You could also wait a little, and by-pass Amazon, if you’d like that more. It will be available in independent bookshops and I’m passionate about supporting each and every one of those.
For postal customers, I’m going to be selling Of Night and Light myself – at least, that’s the plan.
With my sensible hat on, I have to work out costings. If you know me at all, you’ll know that this appears to me as complex as solving the Spaghettic Theory of Relativity…
But I’m sure I’ll get there, especially if I seek help from People Who Know These Things.
Amazon is jolly useful and efficient, but, by all accounts, does little to reimburse penniless writers. Or indeed, writers who have pennies.
Amazon is also…under scrutiny.
While I’m not, repeat NOT, a money-grabbing self-server, I’d rather any pennies to be earned went to a more worthy cause than a company who paid just £4.2m in UK tax last year, despite selling goods worth £4.3 billion.
Well, what a remarkable post! Me telling you the wonderful news that my book is available on Amazon and then enumerating the reasons why Amazon is not a Good Thing.
Thing is, I have to sleep at nights…

I should mention that I’m told Of Night and Light will soon be available from Waterstones online.
Of Night and Light will ALSO, soon, be available as an eBook, if you are one of those people who isn’t firmly stuck in the past, like me, clinging feverishly on to the idea that a book is made of paper and card and sits beautifully on a bookshelf and goes soggy if you drop it in the bath by accident. Or indeed, on purpose.
Oh well, I guess there’s nothing to stop you from putting your Kindle on a bookshelf… (other eReaders available but I don’t know what they’re called).
There you go…

Dear Ms. Coxon,
I’ve admired your work from afar for years and consider myself your #1 fan. I hope you are not adverse to selling your work in the United States of America. I want to buy directly from you because you deserve all my money.
Sincerely,
Erich VonHeeder
P.S. What do you need from me? A check? A money wire? Cash? An address? Name it and it’s yours!!
Caroline Coxon says
Dear Mr. VonHeeder,
What an unexpected joy it was to receive your comment. I had to think extremely hard for 0.001 micro seconds about the advisability of selling my work in the United States of America, concerned the good people of that nation will object to my spelling of colour, grey etc. (the CORRECT spelling) and band together to make bonfires of my work. (Still, if they paid for it first, who am I to complain?)
Please give me a few days to get my pretty little head around the logistics of such a transaction and I will surely get back to you with some unreasonable demands,
Sincerely
Caroline Coxon
