A chat with me, author Michael Campling, creator of the Devonshire Mysteries and other books.

I’m talking about putting all my books back on all retailers and library services - a process commonly known among authors as ‘going wide‘.

All my books will soon be on Kobo, Kobo+, Nook, Apple, Google Play and other retailers internationally as well as library services.

The books will still be on Amazon, of course, but not in Kindle Unlimited.

What more could you possibly want?

He hopes you enjoy listening.

A chat to keep you updated about the change to the online world of me and my books, namely that I’m moving a lot of it to substack. This provides extra community features for you, and makes life a little easier for me in that I can respond to comments in a more timely way, and I don’t have to chase my tail trying to keep up with a load of websites and social media channels.

I hope you enjoy this new experience, and I’d love to hear feedback from you either way. I’m always looking to deliver value to my readers, and I want to make this as smooth as possible for you.

Take care and happy reading,

Mikey
