Whoosh! All read and marked up. I’ll sort put the notes. John, I’ll be in touch.

I like the new cover. Turned up on my Fire tablet last night.

I'm not sure if the latest, (hopefully final) revision is downloading to machines yet. I think the easiest way to tell is on the dedications page. If it mentions HK that is the latest revision. The proof version of the paperback is due to land by next Wednesday, and, assuming that all is well, I'll click the "Just do it" button then. If anybody out there is interested in getting the eBook version, but doesn't have or want the Kindle or Kindle App, it's also available on a few more platforms... Please see my website for details, or the earlier post. _________________John Vella BSc (Hons), PGCE - Still the official forum prankster and crude remarker Sorry I'll behave now. Promise

I've finished the planing stage of Volume 2, or the first half of Volume 2, depending on the word count when I get there.
It's either a cliff-hanger finish, leading onto the third and final part of the trilogy, or the middle of the second book.
I just wish I could think of a title for the bloody thing!

For those of you who do not follow me on BookFace or Twitter, (why not!) I have an announcement to make... Time Fixer - The Blake Bergman Chronicles is now available as a paperback! Rather than posting many links, I'll direct you to my website, which has the links for both the UK Amazon site as well as the .com site, as well as some other outlets for the e-book. Dave and Heather have both said they like it, so listen to the wise people, and have a look! There is a "Look inside" option on Amazon, if you want a taster. Also, if you could spread the word over the internet, I would really appreciate it. Thanks! _________________John Vella BSc (Hons), PGCE - Still the official forum prankster and crude remarker Sorry I'll behave now. Promise

I left a review on Amazon. It is pretty much a summary of what I told you when I was proof reading it.
Great stuff, looking forward to the sequel.

Finished the first chapter of the sequel, which ended with a wtf omg moment, and I am really struggling to come up with the first sentence for chapter 2.

FREE - cant beat FREE
Actually a good move if Number 2 (and 3) are in the pipeline as I invariably buy the follow on books. I will start reading it in a few weeks once I have finished the 2 books i am currently reading (and will do a bit less as having to work from home i don't get the commute reading time)

Since it looks like the lockdown is going to be in place for a while I'm going to do another giveaway, for those who missed out last time.
But first... I'm going to set up a mailing list!

I've not had a chance to set up the mailing list yet, but I did build a barbecue!
I've also made a start on Chapter 4.
Here's a trivial little fact I learnt while I was doing research for this chapter. Did you know that an owl can turn its head 270 degrees?
