Children With No Worries

Draft finished! I promised myself I would not look at the book for 7 days. 2 to go and I'm itching to have a sneaky look.
Will Philippa and Nick kill anybody while I'm not looking?

I have a new ebook available as a preorder. It is $0.99 for a short time, anyone interested in reviewing it?
I'm happy to send a free file if you can give an unbiased review.
The anthology has 50 short stories, set in, or featuring Thailand, or Thai people.
Thank you.
