Well, your response to The Photographer’s Wife has been outstanding. I just don’t know how to thank you all enough. An average of 4.6 stars for reviews, over 30,000 sold already, and #2 in Amazon’s fiction chart. Way to go, people!
Official figures say that Amazon holds about 80% of the UK ebook market, but my own figures would seem to suggest that it’s more like 95%. Yes, for every 95 books I sell on Amazon’s Kindle platform, I sell about 5 on iBooks, Kobo, Nook, and Google all put together! But that still doesn’t make Amazon a monopoly despite what many of their detractors like to claim. Continue reading
The Photographer’s Wife has been out for exactly a month now, and has been very well received. It’s climbed the charts on Amazon (and is almost in the top 100) and so far all the reviews have been 4 or 5 star (bar one – there’s always one!) The blog reviews have been excellent too. Here’s a little smattering of Amazon and Goodreads reviews for your delectation 🙂

The news has been full of stories about the feud between Amazon and Hachette these last few months. In a nutshell, Amazon have been trying to force Hachette to accept lower retailers pricing for some of their ebooks, and Hachette has been refusing. With Amazon halting pre-orders of some Hachette titles, and Hachette orchestrating public petitions from well known authors in their defence, most notably J.K Rowling and Stephen King, the least that can be said is that it’s been getting dirty. There have even been calls to boycott Amazon entirely.

Dear readers. Please note that the following kindle titles: “102 Station Rd” “The Talking Wall”, and “Almost Free” *may* be by someone called Nick Alexander, but they’re not by me. The comments on Amazon would seem to indicate that there is much confusion about this, and not a little disappointment in the quality of the content.
My 11 titles are, in reverse order:
The Photographer’s Wife (The NEW ONE!)
Other Halves
The Half Life of Hannah
The French House
The Case Of The Missing Boyfriend
Sleight Of Hand
Better Than Easy
Good Thing, Bad Thing
Sottopassaggio
50 Reasons to Say Goodbye.
13:55 Eastern Standard Time.
Exciting news!
My new novel The Photographer’s Wife will be published on the 1st October in ebook, and in May 2015 in Paperback. If you’re a kindle user you can preorder from today! And yes, I’ll be boring you a bit with this for the next month. Please forgive me. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Photographers-Wife-Nick-Alexander-ebook/dp/B00MTJQVPS/

“If your first love came back to offer you everything you ever dreamed of, what would you do?”
Hannah is thirty-eight and the happily married mother of eleven-year old Luke, the diamond in her world. Her marriage is reassuringly stable, and after fifteen years she has managed to push the wild dreams of youth from her mind and concentrate on the everyday satisfactions of here and now. The first half of her life hasn’t been as exciting as she had hoped, but then, she reckons, whose has?
When she succeeds in convincing…
