Matt Micheli answered Adam Burnett's question: Hey Matt - any plans to publish in paperback any time soon? I've heard good things about your books, particularly 2 Minutes With the Devil, and would love to check it out but I really prefer print. Hey, Adam! It is available in print if you haven't found that info over the last year since messaging me! Sorry for the extreme delay. Not sure how I missed the message!
