Well, that job is done! A few late changes and (hopefully) minor issues – including a cover change (thank you Andrea) – and a lot of shilly-shallying, but Ida: Searching for The Jazz Baby is listed for pre-order through Amazon, Draft2Digital and Smashwords, and via the online retailers of paper edition books.
I’ve set the 1st of January as release date for the epub and 13th January for the paperback. I’m working to a sort of logic with the dates, but it’s thin. I really never quite know the right way to set dates. At least, there will be opportunity for me to get a note out to early readers (ARC) who might like to post a review.
Here are a couple of pre-order links:
The universal link that allows you to choose the store you prefer to shop at is here. There are already a half dozen or so outlets listing the pre-order and there will be a lot more. This is th e’going wide’ option (as opposed to Amazon exclusively).
And here is the Amazon link. I’ll use the Australian one, but you can get to your local market from there, should you wish.
It is likely that I’ll set the same dates, or very near the same, to release the Ukraine focused collection From Volyn to Kherson: Interpretations of the war in Ukraine. These are both the respective subjects of presentations I’ll be giving in early December this year and I want to move oth of them out of my ‘to do’ basket and call them ‘finished’. More news on that in a little while.
Congratulations, Frank.

I managed to preorder it, the link to Amazon from your post didn’t work for me, but I found it anyway.

Sorry for the difficulty, Robbie. I’m trying to get these listings to work as smoothly as possible, but I’m clumsy with them, sometimes.
Thanks so much for your support. You’re single handedly responsible for lifting Ida to the #1 new release spot in Australian poetry in the US Amazon market! A very small market, I think, and every movement is gigantic, but it’s a very fine feeling to see the Amazon ribbon flying around the title.
Thank you.
BTW I’m delaying the release date until 2nd January 2023. A new year release.

Hi Frank, no worries. I have two other books of yours to read before year end. I think it is because I’m in South Africa. I often have issues with links. I am glad you are number 1, it’s all perception, isn’t it?
