vampyrichamsterFinches is once again available on Kindle and Nook! Sorry these versions were unavailable since March—a full explanation follows for those interested. Print versions were and are always available from your favourite bookstore too!
As I mentioned last year, Vernacular Books, the wonderful people who published Finches, has closed down. They did everything they could to do right by their authors so I got all the proofs for my book. Unfortunately, due to some snafus, I wasn't able to get access to the Smashwords version of Finches nor was the ebook version on our main distributor properly transferred with the print version. I got the latter fixed, which was a huge learning curve for me about the epub format and how different distributors published ebooks. The result is that Amazon and Barnes & Noble carry Finches for their readers again. But because of the issues with Smashwords, I fear the version there is gone for good. If I can find a way to convert my proof to epub that doesn't irreparably break the formatting it won't be forever. Until then, I'm still figuring out tools.
