TITLE CHANGES

My books are on occasion retitled for the US market, and this can cause confusion, resulting – in the worst-case scenario – in readers inadvertently buying the same book twice. Indeed, Amazon UK were offering a ‘Perfect Partner’ promotion on BIRTHS, DEATHS AND MARRIAGES with DEATH IN THE FAMILY, which those of you who are clued up on such things will know is the same book. I told them about it, and they removed the promotion immediately, but that’s no guarantee that it won’t happen again. The title changes are made for a variety of reasons, and the resulting confusion is entirely unintentional.

The titles that have been changed for the US market are:

REDEMPTION (UK) = MURDER AT THE OLD VICARAGE (US)

DEATH OF A DANCER (UK) = GONE TO HER DEATH (US)

BIRTHS, DEATHS & MARRIAGES (UK) = DEATH IN THE FAMILY (US)

I hope this helps!
