No preamble: please buy The Wolf of Wistman’s Wood.

Buy it in all formats. Buy hundreds of copies. Sit on a chair made of hardbacks, with your feet on a table of paperbacks, reading the e-book on multiple devices.

Buy it for your family, friends, co-workers, acquaintances, pets, enemies… everyone! Stock up for Christmas.

Talk about it all the time. Bore people to tears with tales of its glory, and plaster both the real and online world with glowing reviews.

OK I’ll stop now.

But if you are buying the book, please do so today or in the next few days. Best-seller charts depend heavily on sales over short periods – so a spike now means many more people will see the book.

Where to buy:

• Amazon: Paperback, hardback and ebook.
• Most online bookshops (eg Foyles: Paperback and hardback).
• Your local bookshop – just ask them to order you a copy.

Now it’s published, I can finally call myself a novelist. Although… it’s hard to see how I could do that without sounding incredibly annoying. Still, I’ll think it.

Normal newsletter service will resume next month, as I face the question: what next?

Thanks for reading.

Alex

PS – the audiobook, read by the excellent Richard Godden, will get a separate release date. I’ll keep you posted.
