Well, I must begin by telling you I am grateful for your existence on this planet. Your books have added immeasurably to my life…. And I am sure many others as well (although I can’t speak for anyone but myself!). I have listened to just about everything you have written. And with each one l have regretted the arrival of the end of story ! I thought I had heard all you have written, so you can imagine my excitement when I came across the Archer’s Tale. At first I thought it was a stand alone book (like The Fort). Especially as it was short ( I assumed it was just a “short story”)… I never noticed it was abridged (something I always avoid). Anyway, I proceeded to listen to it.  And then, at the end, I  realized, it was designed to continue on…. That sent me  looking for a follow up book and I came to discover the name change and the abridgment… And I was not happy. I  felt like I’d been tricked! I agree with you regarding the name of a book… Multiple names are totally confusing. Not to mention pointless.  And the subtle way they mention that it is abridged seems to me is meant to deceive…. I don’t even think there is an unabridged audio book version titled The Archers Tale.  Anyway, I’ve figured it all out now and will start over with the full version of the Harlequin and listen to (and enjoy) the series as it was meant to be enjoyed… Thanks again to you for all your wonderful writing… As I said, you have added hundreds of hours of enjoyment to my life (not to mention that I might have actually learned something along the way!)…  Perhaps you could tell your publisher to knock off with the name change thing and, in general, just not to mess with your books… After all they are yours, not his! And they are spectacular! (a Seinfeld reference !)
