Well done on the new publication Alex. It's said everyone has a book in them but to get them down on paper and get people buying them is a serious achievement in this day and age. Best of luck with it!
P.s. not to pry, but are these self published and promoted? Or do you have a publisher who have picked you up?

The books have to go through all the editing and quality assurance you would expect and they are selective.
On the strength of the sales of my first book I had several publishing companies offer to take it on, but the deals they offer are pretty poor!

Well done and good luck, that’s great news, wishing you lots of success with it
Congrats! And it must be great to have Adi 'on board' as well. You write on your website: "Adi and I worked on the look for Spencer and his friends,...

Just bought your first book and new one (pre order) on Amazon
Look forward to reading them
Great achievement well done! though you missed an opportunity to get a fave watch in your promo photo.
Well done, it takes serious skill to write a book these days when online reviews can be totally brutal
It was the great feedback and reviews on the first one that encouraged me for sure.

Many, many thanks!
Do let me know how you get on with them!
👍👍

I gave Adi a written summary of some of the key characters along with some details of how I’d described their appearance in the book.
He then did some preliminary sketches (you can see them on my website), and pretty much nailed the looks straight away.
A little bit of discussion and then he worked his magic.
Let’s face it, he knows what he’s doing! 👍👍

Tried to pre - order, but problem with delivery address (I'm assuming because its Highlands)?
No problem with the first book though.
I'll try again later though.
Huge thanks! It shouldn’t be an issue- might just be because it is pre-order until the 28th.
Have you tried any of the other retailers?
