This time i'm gonna do my research before i make the same mistake, but before i do that, i'm changing the title of my book. Instead of Battle of Kiarows A new age Its going to be The Kiarows Chronicles A new age. It sounds better.

"Chronicles" is overdone in titles. "Battle at" it more likely to pique peoples' interest.

Yeah, especially with the "Chronicles of Narnia" being released in theatrical format, I'm pretty sure some people would accuse you of trying to rip off Lewis' title. Plus, if you use Google just type in "Chronicles" and you'll see a huge list of books that used the word in their title.

I don't mind that last one.

Who's publishing it? And when will it be out?

well it's on the profile at Amazon UK, but no one is selling it http://www.amazon.co.uk/Battle-Kiarows- ... 968&sr=8-1, otherwise I'd have grabbed a copy

Online stores are quite different from physical branches of a franchise. The online stores have a luxury that the branches don't: more space to carry more stock, as well as the ability to special order single copies from a publisher. That allows them to stock things that physical branches otherwise wouldn't touch.

And the reason why your local store doesn't have it, well, I explained that to you in another thread.

Hey, I'm jealous. I've wanted to be an author since I was 9 and I've got nothing published. I submitted my story to a manuscript assessment service approx. 2 years ago, and... weeell... I've a long way to go.

Hopefully someone'll get your book in stock soon! :D That's a better start than most aspiring authors... probably due to the fact they're, well, aspiring. :roll: (I've been reading Spike Milligan's version of "The Hound of the Baskervilles", so I'm in a silly mood.)

cant you get a local niche book shop to order it in a limited amount, and then contact a local paper to review it maybe?
