Unfortunately it's not something that FictionWise can do anything about. For some books, their contract with the publisher does not permit them to supply to certain countries. Eg, if a book has different US and UK publishers, the US book cannot, generally speaking, be sold to a customer in the UK.

Anyone in the States want to get in touch with me via PM to help find a mutually beneficial solution?

Don't sweat it. FW have to impose geographical restrictions, but they don't make them terribly difficult to work around. Go into your FW profile and change your country to "USA". Then buy some Micropay credits via PayPal, and buy your books via Micropay. That should work fine.
