All three voumes of Trinity are now available on British bookshelves from now. Love that Orbit has released the trilogy over three consecutive months - fantastic boon for readers who are enjoying the tale and desperate for the next volume and especially helpful to satisfy the increasing gang out there who have the patience (and breadth of choice) to wait until an entire trilogy is out before they start to purchase and read. Thank you, Orbit! Fx

I'm generally thrilled to discover a writer who's already finished his or her trilogy or series before I discover them. That way I can read them at a reasonable pace without forgetting what has gone before. In the case of each of the last two Harry Potter books, I had to re-read the previous two books to get back into the swing of things. You Brits are lucky for this. Me too, actually, since I picked these up in the secondary market from an Australian seller. I'll pick up an American set when Fiona's US publishers make them available.

Phil. You must have an immense bookshelf at home. I can barely keep contained a single copy of most of favourite books - let alone a copy from each market they appear in!

All three books of Trinity are now out in Britain. Fabulous to get them on shelves so fast. Thanks to all who give them a go.

I walked into Waterstones hoping to get my David Gemmell fix! I turned around to see that half the shelves were empty and broken *Something to do with repairs* and that there was no Gemmell books there! Don't worry I remained calm and didn't go into a blind fit of rage. Something then caught my eye up on the top shelf. It was the second book in the Trinity series I looked for the first one and found it and decided to buy all three. I can't wait to start reading them. I read a little bit of the beginning of the first one and became hooked! Thanks in advance Fiona!

Welcome aboard Androes. I know you'll enjoy Trinity. You've more to look forward to in the Quickening and later the Percheron trilogy. Phil

Hello Androes How frustrating for you but I can't help but feel a little smug that mine were available and that they caught your attention and that you're giving them a go. Thanks SO much - I really do appreciate how hard it is to try a new author that comes to you with no recommendation other than a cover that for some inexplicable reason takes your attention. Hope you'll enjoy and that you may go on and read the other books of mine that are available in the UK. The latest series, Percheron, releases mid year with Odalisque. Cheers - let us know how you get on with Betrayal. Bye for now. F

Well! Being compared to Megan Lindholm is a privilege. Thank you, Matt. Glad you enjoyed Trinity and hope you'll give The Quickening a go next. Odalisque, book one of Percheron, launches in UK in July although perhaps you're not in Britain????

I was looking for some summer reads before i went away and found Betrayal hidding in my library, so i picked it up and had a flick through the first few pages and got hooked! Then read it out in Hong Kong, finished it and searched many book stores before finally finding parts 2 and 3. Thank you Fiona for writing these books...deffinatly saved me hours more searching in the library! _______ Ghost

I'm in the UK so got all three books with weeks of eachother. I wish more publishers would do this if the series has already been finished. I hate having to wait and tend to pick trilogies/series that are already complete if I can.

I agree, it was a brilliant marketing idea that satisfied everyone, especially the reader. It meant I had three new books on the shelves in no time and the publisher could get me established in the UK market so much faster than the traditional route. Thanks for reading them, Tumbleweed.
