Just a brief reminder that the paperback of The Dollmaker is now available. With the temporary closure of Gardner’s Books wholesale warehouse on Monday, market conditions have become even more precarious and challenging for booksellers, including those who had been planning to support The Dollmaker with window displays and promotions in various towns and cities across the country.

I want to thank you all anyway, for the thought and care that goes into every promotion you run, every title you select to represent your store. I also want to thank the incredible team at riverrun for their continuing support and enthusiasm for The Dollmaker and for my work generally. I know you’ll all be feeling the same sadness and frustration at not being able to operate as normal but please be assured the love and fellow feeling of your writers continues undaunted.

Stay safe and stay well, and here’s to better times.
