The hard cover edition of Dead Dog Barking by Love, Thompson is now available for pre-order ahead of its mid-2026 release. Below, the key dates, formats, and ways to support the launch.
Pre-order
Pre-orders are open now through MMH Press at mmhpress.com.au/product-page/dead-dog-barking. Pre-ordering helps secure first-run hard covers and contributes directly to launch-week sales reporting — which influences bookstore stocking decisions across Australia.
Release format and editions
The mid-2026 launch is a first-edition hard cover. A paperback edition will follow at a date to be confirmed, and an ebook edition is planned for the same launch window as the hard cover. Audiobook rights are currently in discussion.
Where to buy at launch
The hard cover will be available online and through participating independent bookshops across Australia. A full bookseller list will be published on the Love, Thompson website in the weeks leading up to release. Bookshops interested in stocking the title or hosting an event can use the Contact page to get in touch directly with the author’s team.
Launch events
Launch events are being planned for regional and metropolitan Australia, with a kick-off event at the author’s home pub. Event RSVP details will be published as dates are confirmed. Readers can register their interest now via the Share Your Chaos form on the Contact page.
Media and rights inquiries
Press, podcast, and interview inquiries can be directed to media@deaddogbarking.com. Foreign-language rights, film and television option inquiries, and audiobook discussions should also be directed to the same address.
Stay in the loop
The Love, Thompson site will publish ongoing updates, behind-the-scenes notes, character spotlights, and event news in the run-up to launch. Readers who don’t want to miss the on-sale date are encouraged to bookmark the Blog page and check back regularly.
