Still getting used to Goodreads! Trying to find a place I can add general updates - I've found this box, hope it's the right place!

Anyway, just a general update to say that my book is now only $2.99 (or £1.82 for us Brits) in all major eBook stores. That's a bargain for fourteen speculative fiction short stories, perfect for gentle summer reading! (so I'm told!)

Hope you are all well?
