I’ve had email from a number of people over the last few months saying they haven’t been able to find a copy of Dawn on a Distant Shore in England. Just today Jill — my agent — got back to me about this, after talking to the publisher in London. Whatever the problem was, it seems to be fixed — Amazon UK now does have copies in stock, and your local booksellers should be able to order it. Sorry for the inconvenience. I don’t pretend to undertand that mysterious goings on, but Jill does. Thank dog.
