    The printed word is bloody expensive here inOz for sure.
    Bought the Kindle version from Amazon.com.au for $4.99 - looking forward to getting stuck into the book!

    You will be able to read it on an iPad with the Amazon app, but you will have to open an Amazon account.
    When Amazon claim exclusivity they make sure they get it!

    I've looked into it and just couldn't do anything sadly. Which is a massive shame given the appeal of a proper paperback. For some reason printing costs are 250% higher in Australia. Nothing i can do about that right now. Big shame.

    Thanks for grabbing it mate! Really appreciate it

    Hope this goes well and leads to more mate.

    I've messaged everyone in my address book and asked them to pass it on.

    Good luck mate, why not post an intro on here to give people a taste <bubbly>

    Been reading this, I like it a lot got that addictive quality. Really good natural dialogue which is important to say the least.

    I have just bought it as a paperback. I am a big fan of noir, Nordic noir and detective stuff so presuming I will like it.
    I’ll give you an honest review/ feedback FWIW, but brilliant for doing it in the first place. I know I owe you some publishing feedback from my American brother in law but we ain’t spoken for a year………..

    Hahaha. Don't worry mate. No need to break down the Berlin wall on account of me!

    I really ****ing hope you enjoy it. Look forward to hearing what you think.

    Books are so subjective, so I completely get that some won't like parts that others will and some won't like it at all. But **** it. I gave it a crack and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!
