My first book of fiction

[handrawn]

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

I have the right letters but not always in the right order; hey eric, one of a kind

All the best with the book, Gary.

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.

Editing is also a craft and sometimes even an art.

Maybe the sequel will be "50 vector shades of Gary"..

Hmm?

I have to admit, it's been a few years since I read a book for pleasure. Not for want of desire, but for lack of time.
I'm living permanently outside of the US, so Amazon's offerings are different here. Do you plan to offer your opus as an on-line book in the future? Some of the descriptions are very intriguing.
Congratulations and best of luck.

Excellent well done. Perhaps the first of many!

A non-fiction idea could be a collection of your tutorials, “The Joy of X”.

That's the saddest thing.

Not for want of desire, but for lack of time.

That's a poor excuse. My wife has a very busy life and still manages to read several fiction books every week.

Books are so important.

gcellison - The book should have international distribution as it is a print on demand book. If you can access Amazon then you should be able to purchase the book.

About 35 years ago, Mary and I started listening to Books on Tape while we drove in and out of the city to work. Then when we started to work from home I started reading a loud, Fiction in the morning and non-fiction at night. I'm not a great reader but being mildly dyslexic, my mind tends to wander and if I read a loud I am forced to concentrate on the words on the page. So it's 45 minutes to an hour of fiction with our coffee in the morning and 45-60 minutes of non-fiction with a glass of wine before dinner. We have managed to read a ton of books this way, plus Mary always has several books going at once.

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.
