Frogs in Aspic

I am finishing up the next book. I’ve had three revisions already on Kindle, but they all had problems so for the moment it is unpublished. If I submit the print version today, I should have a copy in my hands late next week. The print version uses a smaller type than the last book. […]

Book Sales
