Hertzan Chimera welcome to the PKD discussion group - have fun, be lively.


Rosemary Your books sound terrific. And Caffeine Nights Publishing sounds like a place after my own heart (racing on bold roast). Have you promoted your books to Murder by the Book in Houston? It's a great independent, known for hand-selling.


Graeme S. Houston Hi Darren, Thanks for the add. Good luck with the writing. Like the sound of around the world in 80 pages. Nice one.

Hi Darren, I've added your books: Tripping, Turtle Island and Around the World in Eighty Pages to my to-read list.
