To anyone who placed an order for my poetry book, Mercy, on amazon or Barnes and Noble, my deepest apologies. Amazon is now saying they are not able to fulfil any orders, and B&N has removed the listing entirely. It seems to be a problem with the distribution company, Baker and Taylor, but as I am not able to contact B&T myself, and my publisher seems to not be having any luck with them either, I have no idea when or if this problem is going to be fixed.
I’m mad as hell.
Mercy IS available directly from the publisher (http://www.hanfordmead.com/books/002,011.php) but I do appreciate how much more convenient amazon ordering is for a lot of people, and I’m really sorry people have been left hanging for weeks with their amazon orders, only to have them cancelled.
*sigh*
Hi Dvorah – I had the same problem but then we set ourselves up as marketplace sellers and sell it ourselves through Amazon. It was incredibly easy and Amazon were brilliant when I lost my password and sorted it all out very quickly.

Hi Rayya! Fancy seeing you here (on my website). You are my first commenter. 🙂
My publisher is planning on doing that, but the distribution company was supposed to work this stuff out. Oh well — it is available from the publisher, and I’m taking copies with me to conferences and selling that way as well. I guess I’ll be learning more about marketing books.
