Wow! The synopsis sounds good, and it's already showing a healthy Amazon ranking! So when can we order our signed copies from you, Alex?
Cheers

Jeeeez...how much more self-deprecating do I need to be?
Any other novelist would name their blog 'Inside the Mind of a Tortured Genius'...'Or Up Close to The Master Storyteller.'
But mine...pffft, the best I could come up with was 'Inside this idiot'

Why no picture? Have you not decided on a design yet?

A couple of questions.
There's still no cover image on Amazon. Is it going to be red like Generals?
Also, I've already pre-ordered from Amazon. Would I be better getting a copy from this website instead? It may be that I'd get a signed copy for the same price (with more going directly to the author as Amazon don't take a cut!) But then again, buying from this site will not help to drive it up the bestsellers' list on Amazon.

You'll have to wait and see Deva, signed copies will be available, Parm will have some I'm sure and i reckon Alex will have some also. so as the phrase goes "Watch this space"
suprised there's no cover image yet, C'mon Al, where that cover art?

| oh, cheers gents. There are several cover designs doing the rounds, a couple are mine, a couple generated by the publisher. I'm not sure we have a winning design just yet...but certainly some good ideas. |

All amazon have this title listed for £6.49, this is cheaper than i can get it with trade discount at the publishers.
get your copies ordered. Tell your friends, if you go to other forums then post about it on there...spread the word.
of course i hope that either Alex directly or myself will do a signed limited for this collectors among you...(note to self check this with alex)
