Thank you for your interest in Stiff Competition.  Unfortunately the title is currently out of print due to changes at Emissary Publishing.

Stiff Competition remained in print constantly for 10 years.  That’s not bad as these things go.  Sadly it was never reviewed in the national press, and never stocked by the big book chains, so its sales were limited.  This is the problem with small publishers.  They simply don’t have the promotional clout of the big firms.  Basically I had to do it all myself.  Still, it’s been an interesting experience, and with luck my next book will be issued by a mainstream publisher with millions to spend on promotion, not to mention author pampering.
