Dear Heather–

There’s nothing direct I can do, but I’ll ask the Recorded Books people what the difficulty with licensing might be.

I live in Australia and I can’t buy The Fiery Cross or The Scottish Prisoner from Audible.
I am told the licence doesn’t cover Australia.
Heaps of sad fans here Diana
Can you do anything?

Love your books.

Sill can’t get this throught Audible in Australia. Everyone I know is just doing the illigal download or getting it as CD’s from the local library. Its very frustrating and I hate to think of all the lost royalties due to bureaucracy.

Please publishers sort it out!!!!!

Thank you – that would be GREAT :)))) audible.com says this;
We’re sorry. Due to publishing rights restrictions, we are not authorized to sell this item in the country where you live.

I am in Australia.

Like so many other UK readers, I’m frustrated that we can’t get the audiobooks ‘The Fiery Cross’ and ‘A Breath of Snow and Ashes’ here. I’ve emailed Audible.co.uk a couple of times, and for the benefit of other UK readers, here is their response – so let’s keep emailing and pushing Audible UK as it’s up to them to sort it out, rather than asking Diana!

This is what they finally said to me:

“We have been trying to obtain the rights to these two books in particular for some time. I can only apologise for us not currently having the full series available, I realise this is an inconvenience.

Our Content team are still hoping to secure the rights to the missing books, although I cannot guarantee this so please keep an eye on the New Releases section of the site from time to time to see if they have been made available.

Dear Lisa–

I’m sorry; I really don’t have any information on foreign audiobook sales. It works like this: we (my agent and I) have a contract with Recorded Books, Inc., who produces the unabridged audiobooks. Recorded Books then makes licensing deals with bookstores or online vendors like Amazon (for CD sales) and with other outlets, like Audible.com or iTunes or whoever. But they don’t need to have approval for any of those arrangements, and therefore I don’t know about them, unless it’s something like the situation with THE FIERY CROSS, where everyone asked it about it for so long. Still less do I know anything about Recorded Books’s arrangements with foreign distributors (though I do know that Australian publishing laws–which are Very Odd–often make licenses and distribution particularly difficult there). You’d need to ask the Australian Audible people, or perhaps the Recorded Book people, though, I’m afraid.

Hope you get it soon!

–Diana

Any news when we can buy Fiery Cross audio book in the UK? The next one available is book 7 which means skipping 3 books ;-(

Hi, Diana,

Just needed to let you know how much pleasure you have given so many readers. When Publishers Weekly reviewed Outlander, I was hooked. My daughter and I owned a small bookstore in our small East Texas town, and we lost count of the copies we sold. I will wait as long as I have to for the next in the series, but I have to tell you I am 74 years old….just sayin’.
