I've been working with the publisher on getting a USA version of the book into America, and while I was in Washington and at the RWA we finally succeeded. After a bit of organising and negotiating it was there in the RWA bookshop - but the publisher's price was $27.50 - way too expensive, I thought. But that was the publisher's decision.
But after some more discussions and a bit more reorganisation, it was agreed to sell the book at a special promotional price of $19.99 - and the good news is that I've heard from the publisher that the prices is staying that was. So that's almost $8 less to buy it!
Great news I think!
Amazon.com already has the USA edition at this price so you can order it from there. And I think that Amazon.ca have the new price. The last time I looked, Barnes and Noble didn't have the new edition in stock on line but that doesn't mater - just take the details to any B&N shop or Borders - any bookshop in fact - and you'll be able to order the book at this great price.
Here are the details you need:

Dear romance writers of America - as a UK would-be-writer I bought Kate's 12 Point Guide to Writing Romance, and I can tell you it was the best! So no excuses now. Buy this book! I guarentee that you won't be disapointed.
The book indeed sounds amazing! I've heard so many great things about it. Thank you for having the price lowered!
That's great news Kate! They've always been readily available in Australia and I have no idea what I'd do without mine!
This is a real 'must-have' for anyone who loves romance and would love to write it, too. I was so impressed, the local college library now has a copy on its shelves, too. It's one of their most borrowed books!
Thank you Caroline! I'm blushing at your compliment. Really hyappy to know that the 12 POint Guide helped you
Hi Olga - I'm really pleased to have managed to agree on a lower price. The bok is meant to help aspiring authors and it's not goign to do that if they can't afford it
Hope it helps you
Hi lacay
I'm glad to hear that the 12 Point guide is readily available i8n Australia - it's been more difficult to get it into the shops inAmerica so I'm hoping this will now be easier.
Hello Christina! Lovely to see you here. I remember signing a copy of the 12 Point Guide for the college. How great to know that it has been so well borrowed
