Domino Island - Paperback Confirmed!

Domino Island has been such a hit with fans new and old that in May 2020 it is due to be published in paperback format.

The paperback follow-on is something you can never take for granted in the cut and thrust of the publishing world. There are a lot of authors vying for the same space on bookstore shelves and it’s getting crowded. But the artwork is in and matches the other 16-novels perfectly. Take a look. Retailers are already listing it for pre-order.

A big thank you to readers new and old who have picked-up the baton and spread the word! Let’s bring more fans onboard.

At this point we need to thank a tireless TeamDB:

David Brawn, the Estates Manager at Harper Collins, Michael Davies, the writer who polished the manuscript for publication and of course Philip Eastwood without whom the story may never have come to light.

Paperbacks?

The eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed that Amazon UK has paperback versions of Domino Island listed as available, along with the hardback and audiobook.

Actually it is only third-party sellers offering the paperback, not Amazon itself, and the reason is pretty straightforward. There is no official paperback yet and probably won’t be for another year or so (depending on sales figures).

So what are the six sellers (that we’ve counted so far) actually offering?

It is most likely they are selling the advance proof copies that were sent out to journalists and reviewers prior to the book being finalised and error-corrected. If this is so, these books might just be of interest to collectors. However until we get confirmation, here at Bagley Towers, we are just as confused as anyone else!

News Update

 1) Publication of the Audible audio-book has been brought forward at last, to the 11th May. Take a look: Domino Island Audible edition. 2) Martin Edwards, well-known and respected crime writer has posted a generous review of Domino Island. Check it out: Do You Write Under Your Own Name?
