To begin with, my books about Nehalennia were ‘held back’. They were on sale everywhere, but not everyone who ordered a book did always receive a copy. This applied to both the Dutch and the English translations. Retailers would then refund the money, stating that the title was no longer available. But the books were, and still are, available everywhere. Furthermore, several of my books have not appeared on the sales channels where they were listed, and are marked as ‘out of stock’ there, even though they are not out of stock!
Now, with my Thoth books, something different is happening. On Amazon, the published Volume 1 is being sold for an exorbitantly high price by an unreliable Chinese shop. There’s nothing that can be done about this because sellers of second-hand books have the right to charge whatever they like. So if you want to buy my book, make sure you do so on a site that charges a normal price. (These prices vary by country, but are somewhere between 30 and 35 euros, excluding delivery charges.)
The safest option is to purchase the book directly via Bookmundo. The situation with resellers gives really quite a headache. In the UK, this problem would improve if I reduced the size of the cover texts and images; then there would be a greater chance that my book would appear on Amazon above these kinds of shady second-hand sellers. However, that does not mean that these kinds of sellers will disappear from view. Apparently, not only the effort is being made to censor my books, but also to literally ‘price them out of the market’. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do about this, so please remain vigilant about where you purchase my books. All titles are available as usual, both the English and Dutch editions. If you’re familiar with a sales channel that calculates the standard price, you’re of course welcome to order from there, but if you’re not sure, please buy directly from Bookmundo.
