Being Woman in the World is in the world!

Hi everyone,

Just letting you know that BWW is now available in e book and from Amazon etc.

Amazon can provide you with kindle versions and also Print on Demand.

Click the links to order:
Amazon.com | Amazon UK | Amazon Aust

Kobo NZ | Kobo UK | Kobo USA | Kobo Aust. | Smashwords

The ebooks are available through Philip Garside’s website (see the link below):

People ordering from me are taking the opportunity to purchase a trilogy set or to catch up on copies of Book 1 or Book 2 if they have missed those before. Good idea!

The contents list may give you an idea of the scope of the book. I have put the names of the poems in italics. They are sometimes at the ends of chapters and sometimes within them. Rose Riddell in her endorsement (see last blog) says the poems ‘glide and sing’. You can judge for yourself! Sorry about the wobbly line of page numbers!
