How ever did you manage to write Oddjobs. I swear you must the self control of an AI. I've spent twice as much time laughing, as I reading. And I'm only on page 5! Seriously! Will this book be fatal to me?
Heide Goody Hi Michael, thanks for getting in touch. We love that you're enjoying it. We always have a lot of fun writing our books and it's great to know that we're doing something right!

I saw ( somewhere/ some website ) Oddjobs 2.5 a Christmas short story. Now I cannot find it anywhere!! Can you help? Oh and Please, Please save Steve and Vivian.
Heide Goody Hi! You're looking for Last Christmas, an Oddjobs short story.
If you search for its ASIN on Amazon B07H1XWNCX you're sure to find it, or here is the link if you're in UK. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Last-Christm...

Where have you been all my life? Loved the write up on Oddballs on Amazon (Bought today for Kindle) and your work sounds right up my street (I'm an Ian Rankin & Johnathan Howard fan as well as Pratchett and Gaiman). Any other similar authors you can recommend?
Heide Goody Hi Alan, Sorry for the delay in answering! If you're after funny authors that I would recommend, you could look at Carpet Diem by Justin Lee Anderson. The Dublin trilogy by Caimh McDonnell is superb. The books of Jeff Strand might also make you smile.

Hi. I recently bought the compilation of the Clovenhoof (books 1 to 5). I've just finished book two; pigeon wings. It then goes godsquad, then hellsapopin and beezebelle, but didn't seem to have Satan's shorts contained? Why is this? I'm cautious about carrying on and reading out of order/missing one. Can you clarify please?
Heide Goody Hi April, thanks for getting in touch! Satan's Shorts is a book of short stories, and it's permanently free on Amazon, so you can pick it up whenever you like. If you're interested to read everything in the order that we wrote it then Satan's Shorts was written after Pigeonwings. I don't think you'll have any problems if you read the shorts afterwards though :-)
In case you're interested, Oddjobs is free on kindle for the next few days. It's not in the Clovenhoof world, but you might enjoy it - get your friends to grab a copy while they can!

Will there be a Clovenhoof 5?
Heide Goody Bonnie,

I'm so sorry that I didn't see your question sooner.
The answer is: definitely yes!

The series so far is like this:
Satan's Shorts is a collection that sits on its own, really.
1 - Clovenhoof
2 - Pigeonwings
3 - Godsquad

Coming shortly is:
4 - Hellzapoppin'
It will be released on October 1st and is available on Amazon for pre-order now.

We have also finished writing:
5 - Beelzebelle which will be released in Q1 2016

Hope that helps, and sorry for the delay in answering.

Cheers
Heide
