Oh for fucks sake. I've gotten to 84% on my kindle and that ambulance chasing cunt Boylan gets a shout out.

It's just not right!

Email seen, link clicked, book bought and read today, 5* review written. Now, please give me an approximate date for the 3rd to be released. I get that Audible has its spiny mandibles locked-on but any clue to how much suffering I have in store would be good 👍🏻

About ten months away, but that will give me time to write an extra bunch of chapters filling in details of how Jonas built up the Legion.

Hey JB, just wondering if these are ever going to be available in paper?

Hi John. Big fan of your trilogies. I can't seem to get American Kill Switch on Kindle. Is it not available yet?

Not yet, George. Audible still has exclusive rights for now, but the clock is ticking.

Hello again. I'm reading Zero Day Code and loving it. Here's the thing though. I'm a natural proof reader - a bit on the spectrum - and the error rate is pretty high. Not sure if you knew, so just passing that on.

It drives me nuts, George! I've had two proofers go through that manuscript.

Cheers. I wouldn't worry too much, I'm sure the sneaky-peekers in R7 won't be too pissed at you for stealing their thunder. The ASPI guys have been beating the bushes around that not-at-all-intimidating, windowless, 12-storey building for years.

I've been looking forward to the new Culture/WH40K mashup book for a couple of months now. Life-threatening diseases are no excuse for fucking a deadline, young Birmingham.

Done - bought both. I didn't realise the first was out on Kindle - I thought it was only an audiobook.

They start out as audio-only, cos my mate Jeff paid over the odds to keep them like that for eighteen months. But eventually all the other formats become available to me.

He might pay over the odds to you, but he's still making enough to have pocket change to spend on a space machine.
