Yes, it’s POD. Not difficult getting online booksellers to carry it. I have some fiendishly clever ways (probably destined for failure) of getting it on actual bookshelves. But it will be a challenge.

Thanks, James, and well done getting your own book onto the shelves. Is it POD? If so, did you have the Devil’s own time getting booksellers to stock it? Either way, best of luck!

Congratulations, Ian. I corresponded with you awhile back about my own online thriller on nuclear power – “Rad Decision”. I’m glad to report it’s now on bookshelves as well (and still online too). It’s a good thing the net has given would-be writers the opportunity to reach the public at large and get their response — and only THEN have to worry about agents and publishers (who often seem to have more narrow interests). I also congratulate the Jarrold Agency for looking (slightly) outside the traditional box. Good luck! Jim Aach

Simon, I’ll see if I can get away with a barcode tattoo…

Hi, Anne. Thanks for the welcome!

“Hey, do we get a badge reading ‘JJ’s Barmy Army’ or something?”

I heard it was a red hot brand to the posterior, but I’m safe in Western Australia so you can just fill me in on the grisly details once yours is done …

I see my name has been mentioned in despatches, though wrongly spelled (shame on you, Roger!! – it’s Brooke, don’t y’know!) – so may I belatedly say welcome to the JJ Gang, Ian.
