FAQs

I’ll be honest – I can’t compete on price and speed with online retailers. They can sell cheaply and ship quickly because they have the financial and logistical resources to do so, basically because they’re BIG! Whereas I’m an independent author using an independent printer, which means we have to do things differently. But by buying directly from me, you will be supporting independent businesses who care about the books they produce. The books are excellent quality, and I also sell items that can’t be bought elsewhere, such as book bundles and merchandise.

When an author like me sells on a retailer’s platform, we have to wait 4-6 weeks before we get paid, which can play havoc with cash flow and make it more difficult to devote the time needed to keep writing. And while we love the big stores and wouldn’t be without them, the sheer number of books on them makes it more and more difficult for authors to be ‘found’. And buying from the author also helps our readers, as we can keep them informed about our books and any promotions/discounts we may be running.
