One citizen said that federal agents in Idaho pointed guns at her children, ages 6 and 8, and dragged her 14-year-old daughter out of a truck and zip-tied her.

The mother told investigators that an agent threatened to “fucking blow your head off.”

Unbound never released the paperback of 1983. They just did the hardback (it never stood a chance, due to their parlous state, and still feels like a lost book). But Swift have now released the paperback. So it's a simple matter of avoiding the hardback there.

There are very few of the Unbound versions of Villager out there, although more (but not loads) Unbound versions of my other books still kicking around - especially the hardback of 1983. Main thing is to definitely avoid the copies being sold by OOINYA on Amazon...

Quick note to anyone thinking of buying my books: please purchase the new Swift Press versions, NOT the relatively small number of Unbound versions still knocking about, & being sold by OOINYA. Unbound stopped paying me for my work early in 2024 and I will never see a penny for these books.

Hi there. I am recommending @blackwells.bsky.social as they do free worldwide delivery but even better, if you are in the UK, is an indie shop or @bookshop-org-uk.bsky.social. As long as the version you see says Swift Press the royalties will go to me. blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...
