1. No, it's a novel, it just has some great cover art from the amazing Sam Kennedy. Look him up on the net, he's fantastic.

2. I'm one of several "Wayland Smith"s as far as I can tell. I actually have at least one book on my author page that isn't mine, which I keep meaning to report.

Thanks for the interest. (less)
