10. Thanks. Your book sounds fascinating. I'm only on Kindle, but it'll be free Saturday and Sunday.

I'm not pushing my book, but you can read ebooks in your browser or in the free apps. Some people hate to read electronically though, so I understand if you're a paper reader. I waited a long time before getting a Kindle. I never use it, because I have a stack of paper books in my reading queue to get to first! And I'm such a sloooooow reader.

On edit:
I read your bio on your book's ammy page. You've got quite a history as a writer! Impressive.

On edit edit:
I just looked at your first paragraph. I've seen it in the ABNA forum. It's the best first paragraph I've read there! I'm sure the rest of the book is just as great. One of these days, I'll get to reading it.
