It's in bookshops today in the U.K., Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The paperback has also found it's way to online merchants everywhere in Scandinavia and other countries of the EU, and at scattered sites in exotic locales like India, Russia, Japan, and Hong Kong. Odette, Clarice and Barbara Jean are definitely making friends everywhere!! Tell your friends in distant lands that if they want a really good book this winter (well, it's summer in Australia) they can meet Edward Kelsey Moore's British "Supremes" right away! It's also available as an eBook. And here's a link to "Wish List," a brief Hodder Books newsletter with more on the novel. Here in the midwestern U.S. this bitter, snowy winter has been extra challenging. It's lovely to see an image of something colorful and... anticipatory to raise one's spirits. Perhaps spring is not so far away! Click on the charming cover to see it larger. |
