How annoying is Amazon at times? Yes. Very. I wanted to go and buy Josh Lanyon & Sarah Black's Partners in Crime 2 because there's a story from the 1940's in it (and one from the 1960's which I thought I could stretch into the "historical" definition for Speak its Name and the paperback is EIGHTEEN POUNDS. Yes. That's 36 dollars ladies and gents. For a PAPERBACK. Granted they have shipping costs from the States, but STILL. I know what the postage is, so do you, and it's not that mark-up price for every book.

So I'm going to have to buy it from Fictionwise, which annoys me greatly. It's a fraction of the price (about Five or six pounds for both books) but they will be ebooks, and not nice paperbacks that I'll read over and over again. That's the price of a hardback, Amazon!!

Grrrr.

Bad Amazon. No Biscuit.

In other news - Two pieces of news about "Where the Boys Are" the anthology that my short "Drug Colours" is in. A really lovely review of my story from Erotica Revealed HERE, (the reviewer considers it one of the best of the book... *blush *) and I've just noticed that Cleis have nominated it for the Lambdas. It doesn't have a hope in hell, as there's hefty opposition from The Mammoth Book of Gay Erotica and Homosex - but w00t! It's still nice to be in another nominated book.
