    Amazon always discounts books. I'll sign it for you next time you're in Albuquerque. How's that?

    a kind offer, but the likelyhood of me ever visiting the US again is remote, although I have been to albuquerque in the past [as you may remember me mentioning] but I think before you moved off the west coast

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Congratulations, Gary! Big achievement. Did you also involve an editor?

    Nice cover too!

    Absolutely. I had the right number of commas, it's just they were all in the wrong places. My wife who has now written 5 books (all that I have art directed and produced) also helped with the editing and made several suggestions that really helped.

    $15 does not seem a bad price, although $7.24 to post over this side of the pond

    Editing is also a craft and sometimes even an art.

    The little flourish under the chapter title is a spiral with a line attached to each end. It ties into the twister photo on the cover.
