The Tide is finally in for North America!Great news! The Immortal Prince, Book 1 of the bestselling Tide Lords series is finally available in the USA and Canada. (UK readers will have a to wait a little longer for the British edition, but you can purchase the series in the meantime through Amazon.uk if you absolutely can't wait.) So... what is The Tide Lords about I hear you ask? Basically, it's about a suicidal immortal. That was my first choice for a title, actually - Suicide of the Immortals" - but my agent (and the publishers) balked at the idea of having the word "suicide" in the title. Despite my argument that The Virgin Suicides did all right, my pleas fell on deaf ears. Oh well. The Immortal Prince turned out to be a very cool title, and the book has been a mainstream bestseller in Australia and I still can't believe nobody had thought of it until now... Publishers Weekly had this to say about The Immortal Prince...
So... here's the blurb ...
You can buy the US edition here from Amazon Or you can get it from Barnes and Noble If you live in Canada, you can get it here If you live in the UK, you can get it here. You can get the German langauge edition here And if you live in Australia (or the USA, or Canada for that matter) and haven't got it already, run straight down to your local bookseller and demand they get it for you, if it's not already in stock! This is a four book series. The next book is The Gods of Amyrantha, will be out early next year, followed by The Palace of Impossible Dreams and then the last book, The Chaos Crystal, which is finished and delivered, so you can start the series confident in the knowledge that if I happen to get hit by a bus before you get to book 4, you'll still be able to find out what happened... LOL. I hope you have as much fun reading this series as I had writing it.

I think I can say its the best Fantasy book written by an Australian and I have a cultural cringe thing goin on.
Have finished the book and hope to get the second one when I pay off my credit card debt.
Good news indeed! Can't wait for the UK release.. any release date / publisher known?
Anyway good timing.. will finish Harshini this week, I'm ready for the Immortal Prince :D
Haha - when I came home from school today I found that my copy of The Immortal Prince was waiting for me - I pre-ordered it about three or four months ago (I think) off of Amazon.co.uk
I can't start it yet though: need to finish Glenda Larke's Song of the Shiver Barrens!
I hope mine comes in the mail today. I received an email from Amazon over the weekend saying it was shipped. I cannot believe I waited this long. I was going to buy the Australian edition rather than wait, but I bulked at the sight of the shipping price. Anyway, I am anxiously watching for the mail!
Hey, Jennifer, just thought I'd let you know that I've seen the map of Amyrantha -- lol and in your podcast I was listening to you said that we wouldn't be able to read the place names! Haha well I've read them!
It's good to see a sense of humour lol will you be enlisting Russell to create your next map?
Not unless I pay him for the first one.... LOL
It's hardback! *wails*
I will go and count my pennies.... it can be my middle-of-exams treat. (Can't be the end-of-exams celebration, because I already know what that one is going to be.) Or maybe the not-quite-finished-exams-but-lets-procrastinate-a-little-longer book.
I'd really appreciate it if you didn't plan to get hit by a bus, though. Good writers are so hard to find.
