Roswell Trilogy Sales Problems

 

The illustration above is a page where you can buy my book in Trinidad and Tobago. The price is 221 of whatever currency those sun-kissed beach-and-palms Caribbean islands use; is that cheap or expensive? They've got the author's name wrong; I am not
"Ben Emlyn-Jonesannette Lemaire". Somehow they've managed to create a portmanteau of my name and my cover illustrator Annette Lemaire. This means searching under that term will not lead you to any of my other pages on the site. Source: https://trinidad.desertcart.com/products/64772019-roswell-rising-a-novel-of-disclosure. All three titles in the Roswell trilogy should be available all over the world. In most countries there is a local print-on-demand supplier, circumventing the need for imports, meaning the books should not be much more than the recommended retail price of £10. Unfortunately they very often are. Prices on Amazon vary almost minute by minute, but most of the time when I look on the UK site they are £12 to £14, well over the RRP. As it happens right now Redeemed is dead on a tenner; and ironically, you can get to it by clicking on the Rising selection list. I have reported this fault to Amazon. I have since been contacted by two separate individuals in the space of a week saying that my books are very hard to get hold of in Australia. One showed me a screenshot pricing them at 38 to 45 Australian dollars, that's around £20 to £25. This must mean that the domestic POD supplier must be down. I had some problems with Australia a few years ago in which one of my titles was taken off the market until I had adjusted the RRP; which I did and the book was subsequently put on sale again. I have checked with the printers and the book is listed as currently available worldwide. Unfortunately as publisher I cannot decide what price a retailer chooses; so unless there is a distinct and manifest problem with the supply outfit I cannot solve it, and there doesn't seem to be one right now. However I will continue to investigate. In the meantime here are some links to all three titles on the best value platforms I could find, see: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295127978254 and: https://www.whiterainbookhouse.com/products/roswell-revealed-ben-emlyn-jones-9780954222956 and: https://scifier.com/roswell-revealed-a-world-after-disclosure-ben-emlyn-jones-9780954222956/. Also, if you like, just email me at bennyjay74@gmx.co.uk and, if you're okay to pay postage and packing, I will send you signed copies of the books personally.
