Will be buying this in the morning. Then it will arrive while we’re away on holiday and my wife won’t notice it among the mail piled up on our doormat when we return 🤣

First of all happy birthday! But 12? Is that a typo or are you incredibly precocious? Or maybe there's something flying over my head again (that happens a lot).

Second: Congratulations! I just ordered my own copy. The platform you're using to print and sell your book is very intriguing - "become your own bookstore" indeed...

Third, thank you for the shout out. I'm glad that I could help just by being a reader... and thank YOU for sharing your vivid, fascinating imagination with us!

Haha that was a full joke. I’m 40 but my sense of humor is 12.

You’re wonderful and I am incredibly lucky to know you.

Heh, well then you're older than me in that respect. I'm almost 65, but I have the sense of humor of a five year old.

Woo!! 🥳🎉 Congrats, this is exciting.

Is there an ebook version? (I benefit from being able to pick white text on black, and turn the font size up a bit.)

Thank you! There should be in the near future, and I’ll keep you in the loop about that if you like!

Leeron Heywood's avatar

Yes please! Sadly I don’t have enough brain to keep up with everyone’s serials as they’re happening, so I want to buy ALL the ebooks and nibble my way through as health permits.

I’m happy to buy an epub direct and load it onto my reader manually, or do Kobo/Amazon. Whatever works for you.

I’m keeping as far from Amazon as possible for the moment haha.

Last I heard from them, books.by is working on adding e-books to their offerings with a target launch date of this summer. As soon as they give the go-ahead, I’ll tap you on the shoulder about it. Sound good?

Red and black is a great combination. I actually used them on my first cover, too. Good luck with it all... 😎
