About us
Jackdaw E Books is the publishing imprint of Cumbrian writer Sue Millard: horses, history and humour in varying combinations, as electronic books and paperbacks, for readers 4 to 94. The books are written, edited, designed and printed in the UK.
Buy direct from this web site to support the "buy small, buy local" ethos.
It takes years to research, write, edit and produce a book. It will sell for the price of a box of chocolates. BUT! a book is better than chocolates (you never thought you'd hear me say that) because you can devour it more than once and it still won't make you fat.
Buying Jackdaw books
You can buy most of the printed books from this web site. You can pay via PayPal, bank transfer, cheque or cash (and occasional canny bartering). See individual book pages for the necessary links.
PayPal
You can purchase from this site even if you don't have a PayPal account. Click the button, check you have ordered the right book/s, then choose the option for "Check out without a PayPal account". Here's what the screen should look like if you "Check out without a PayPal account". Look for a section on the payment screen that reads "Don't have a PayPal account?" You should see a link titled "continue checkout" somewhere in this section. Select the link to open the credit card input screen. Enter your personal information, billing address and credit or debit card information. Click the "Review Payment" button when you are done. Review the payment details displayed on the screen to make sure everything is correct. If you need to edit any of the information, click the "Change" button at the bottom of that section. When you are satisfied that your credit or debit card information is accurate, click the "Pay Now" button to finalize your payment.
Bank Transfer
Please email me for the bank codes.
Bookshops
Printed novels are available through the usual trade channels, your local bookshop and Bookshop.org. Make a note of the ISBN and you're good to go.
However - small volumes such as short stories, poetry and children's activity books are not available from bookshops as the profit margins just aren't there for either party. Sad, but there it is. There are purchase links on the individual pages. If you want to buy direct please get in touch.
Beware of "free download" sites offering pirated digital copies of books. You don't know what malware you may be downloading along with the "free" text. These sites steal from authors. Please don't use them.
