UPDATE 7 December: The issue appears to now be resolved. Emails *should* be going out normally. If you encounter any issues please contact me.
===
UPDATE 11 am AEST 5 December: The shop is open again but the site still can’t send outgoing emails. That means you won’t receive receipts for purchases, and you can’t receive password reset emails. We’re working to resolve this as soon as possible. Email me at all.these.roadworks@gmail.com if you’re having trouble.
===
UPDATE 10.40 pm AEST: I have temporarily disabled the shop by marking all products as Out of Stock until I can resolve the issue. Thank you for your patience.
In the mean time you can also purchase most books by All These Roadworks on Smashwords.

At at 8.00 pm Australian Eastern Standard Time, 4 December 2025, AllTheseRoadworks.com is currently experiencing some technical difficulties.
The site appears to be under attack from a malicious operator. As a result, WordPress has temporarily disabled the ability of the site software to send emails.
This means that:
(a) If you are subscribed to the site (in the sense of receiving posts in your email, not in the sense of being a paid member) you will not receive those posts until I fix the situation;
(b) You may not receive notification of replies to your comments on this site; and most importantly
(c) If you have made any recent purchases from the store, or make any from this point forward, you will not receive emails, including the one that lets you download your books.
If you have made such purchases and the site indicated the transaction was successful, it very likely *was* successful. If you are not able to download your books, please contact me at all.these.roadworks@gmail.com and I will fix the issue for you as soon as I am able.
I will also attempt a manual reconciliation once it is fixed to ensure all emails reach their destination.
At this stage I am not able to offer an ETA for the fix.
In the mean time if you have concerns about shopping on this site, you can also purchase most books by All These Roadworks on Smashwords. I don’t get *quite* as much money from sales there, but close enough.
