A new volume has just been released in the USA that brings together Rachel's Shoe and The Causeway !
Guernsey - Rachel's Story is 434 pages and will also be available on Kindle very soon. The UK edition of the paperback will be published in 2012 but UK customers can still order it via Amazon for delivery here if they can't wait until next year! I hope you enjoy the complete story in one novel.

Latest news on the sequel and progress on TV series
Guernsey is once again the main setting for the sequel to Rachel's Shoe although the other Channel Islands also get a look in! Without giving too much away, I can also reveal that my namesake 'Lihou Island' will feature in the story which takes it's name, The Causeway from the 'sometimes' island.I'm currently working on Chapter 7 and making good progress now that I've given up the day job to focus on writing. The cover picture is still being worked on but should turn out quite similar to the image on the shown above. I had hoped to complete the sequel this summer and that may still be possible but I have a house move to deal with in the meantime so please bear with me, I will do my best!
This week script writer Ron Blicq is in Guernsey and we hope to finalise the first part of the TV screenplay for Rachel's Shoe before he returns to Canada. He has done a splendid job in bringing the characters to life in his interpretation of the novel.
Last week I was very pleased to meet two of my customers from Hungary, two from the USA and one from Scotland along with her husband. It is always a great pleasure to meet, share a coffee and converse with people who have enjoyed my novel and I would like to pass on my best wishes to them and say a big 'thank you' for looking me up.
Acclaimed Books Publishing has now taken over all the printing and distribution of Rachel's Shoe from Libros International (the former publisher) and will also publish The Causeway which will ensure the minimum delay once the manuscript is completed, in making it available through the usual outlets. Initially, this will be Amazon and by direct order from any book shop.
That's all for now, I'll keep you posted with the progress.

Stocks Arrive!
The first stocks were dispatched today and should be with Amazon almost immediately. My own stocks will rely upon the logistics of getting a large parcel to Guernsey just before Christmas, but this is likely to be trouble free - our delivery services are very good.
I will turn around any orders for signed books as soon as these arrive.
Having said this, please don't rely upon receiving your copy in time to give it as a Christmas present, it is unlikely to get to you in time.
As you will want to read it yourself on these cold dark nights - no problem!

Rachel's Shoe Available !
Orders can now be placed on Amazon and stocks are being set up for distribution around the world 'by all good book stores'!
If they haven't got it in stock, they can get it!
The sequel is under way and without giving too much away, it will feature more danger as the story continues, in addition to beautiful local settings like the Gouliot Caves in Sark, more on Alderney and breathtaking scenes in most of the other islands.
It is a sequel though, so it is best to start with Rachel's Shoe.
Thanks for visiting!

Amazon listing
Rachel's Shoe was officially published today (December 10th) and the full distribution and stocking arrangements are now under way.
The listing appeared on Amazon.co.uk yesterday without the cover image or their initial stocks but they are now taking advance orders and the full details are currently being loaded. It took less than a week for their listing which I think is pretty good considering the volumes they must deal with.
Full credit to my publishers 'Libros International' for their part in this.
Initial print runs are under way so all advance orders will be dispatched in the coming days. Thank you for your patience.
Whilst we wait for 'bricks and mortar' book stores to stock up, copies can be obtained from Rachel's Shoe
at Amazon or if you would your copy personally signed, go to the 'Contact' page on the Rachel's Shoe website.
I hope you enjoy reading Rachel's Shoe and tell all your friends about it!
