I've just recently begun reading the series and would really like to continue reading them in order. Just finished Gently Continental and cannot seem to locate Gently Coloured anywhere. Can anyone help me locate either an ebook or paper copy of this? Might it be published as an ebook under a separate title?

The Fantastic Fiction page shows the order of the series. The first 30 books are currently available, and a number of titles have been changed. Eg:
The Honfleur Decision -> Gently Under Fire Gabrielle's Way -> Gently Heartbroken Fields of Heather -> Gently in the Past Amorous Leander -> Gently with Passion The aim seems to be to rename them all to the "Gently <something>" format. Last edited by HarryT; 06-06-2017 at 11:08 AM. |

I don't see, for example
Fields of Heather (1981) [Gently in the Past] In fact that site thinks Fields of Heather is also called Death on the Heath ? |

Ah so Gently in the Past and Gently with Passion appear on the US Amazon site but without any actual download. e.g.
https://www.amazon.com/Gently-Past-A.../dp/B01EFL9C8U Gently with Passion appears on the UK Amazon site for download but I'm in Australia so it tells me I have to go to the US site. |

It may be the case that the publisher doesn't have the rights to sell the ebook to Australia. It's very common for books to have different publishers in different markets.

Yes I expect that is it. In the past I've had books with a release date six months after the US one for that sort of reason. I'll just have to immigrate!

It's very easy to make a "virtual journey" to buy a book in a different market. Kobo is perhaps the easiest.
