I Got You Babe.
The last week and a bit has been busy. Adding new ISBNs to the FBI-Byte Series paperbacks, reformatting, and creating new covers, then having to create all new graphics to reflect the new covers. The books are also on a new platform and I no longer have to deal with Amazon to get print copies. … Continue reading I Got You Babe.
I don’t know how you do it …

It is ALMOST the final product. Almost, but it's NOT for sale yet and it's not had its last minute tweaks.Some of you know … Continue reading What’s a proof?
The race is on …
Currently a proof from Amazon and a proof from Draft2Digital are winging their way to me. This morning it seemed like the D2D proof would win but now it looks like the Amazon one might be in the lead. One is coming from Sydney (Amazon) the other from Melbourne (D2D).
