It's really exciting the first time you get to hold the hardcopy of your first book in your hands, isn't it, Colin? I still remember that day like it was yesterday. (In reality, it was 11 or 12 years ago, but who's counting?). On Aug 2, 2012, at 7:50 PM, Colin Holgate co...@verizon.net wrote:

Looks great, Colin! I've bookmarked the site so I can get back to it when the book actually becomes available in August. I assume the links to Amazon, etc. are not working because this is a preorder? On May 20, 2012, at 9:37 AM, Colin Holgate wrote: Google have a thing they call alerts.
