    I’ve added it to my kindle wish list.

    love crime dramas. Currently reading the last michael Connolly book in the Harry Bosch series. If anyone hasn’t read these do it they are brilliant. Also now a very good Amazon prime series called Bosch based on these books.

    congrats on getting your book out there. Must be brilliant and nerve wracking in equal measures.

    Dymocks are a bunch of ****s and shouldn't be selling it.

    $31 including postage through Amazon.

    No wonder book shops are struggling.

    They're back.

    Midges -- also known as chironomids or lake flies -- are tiny, non-biting bugs that swarm together and, depending on where you live, you may have seen a lot of them lately.

    If you've had to navigate these swarms on your socially-distant walks, you aren't alone. We've received dozens of photos of midges from our viewers, prompting us to reach out to an expert to learn more.

    According to Royal Ontario Museum entomologist Doug Currie, the bugs can be seen throughout the year but they're most noticeable when there are mass emergences of adults, which is most common in the spring and fall.

    A midge is less than 1 millmetre long and nearly invisible when on its own or when observed from afar. But there's power in numbers, which is exactly what you'll see when a swarm gathers. Some of them are a few thousand strong, while others can number into the millions.

    Got it on kindle, if I don’t like it, I’d like your bank details for a refund.




    Good luck with it <ok>
