Some of you have woken up to Amazon cancelling your orders for my book on HMS Belfast. I've spoken to USNI and essentially the problem is/was that the book was originally scheduled for release this month, but ultimately it was decided to release it in May.
However, Amazon's systems appear to have not registered the update to release date and so tried to ship books this month, then when someone noticed and told it to stop (probably by someone just manually setting the stock level to 0), the systems decided they couldn't send any and cancelled the pre-orders.
This issue is being resolved by USNI at the moment, so don't panic, at some point in the next few days the entry for the book should be updated with the May release date, at which point you can re-do your pre-order and all should be well.
I'm still working out the details of pre-signed copies with USNI at the moment.
On the plus side, the number of pre-orders meant even the unintended abortive lauch briefly placed the books as #1 bestseller for naval history books for the week. Let's see if we can recapture that for next month! :D
