Availability of the Chief Inspector Mario Silva Series

Actually, Bikeridr, my books are available in most countries of the world.
It's like this:
In the United States, Canada and several other places, the rights are held by my North American publisher.
And they are the ones who market the e-books.
In certain countries in Europe the books are available in translation, and the European publishers handle that part of it.
But, elsewhere, I retain the rights, and I am free to put up e-books to my heart's content.
What's more, I can do so at a price that I, not the publisher, determines.
Thereby making the books more widely available and increasing readership.
Why Amazon and Kindle specifically?
Because, as far as I know, they are the only ones that allow me to pick and choose the countries, thereby avoiding any infringement of rights I may have licensed.
Why have I specifically mentioned the UK here on the forum?
Because I have recently put the books up in the UK Kindle store, which is quite a different operation from Amazon.com which functions elsewhere in the world, but not in the UK.
I cannot list all of the links for my books everywhere in the world, because that would be a daunting proposition.
The links all vary, country by country.
That's how Amazon sets it up to avoid the aforementioned copyright infringement.
The URL address will always be different depending on where you search it from.
If, for example, you live in Australia, and search for a Kindle copy of Blood of the Wicked on Amazon, the site will direct you here: http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Wicked-I...dp/B004BA54ZG/
But, if you do the same thing in Italy, Amazon will direct you here:
http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Wicked-I...9664002&sr=1-3
Sorry about the long explanation, but I don't know how to respond to your question any more succinctly.
And thanks for asking.
