Yes, Watch the Wall, Miss Seeton is now available, and those of you who pre-ordered the eBook should already have received yours. I've delayed my announcement until today because I'm one of those who still feels a book has only really been published when there's a copy of it in my hand. And my author's copies arrived this morning - yes, even on a Sunday!

I'm most grateful to those of you who have reviewed the book on NetGalley and Goodreads. I’ve never had so many pre-publication five-star reviews before. I do hope everyone else will find it equally enjoyable.

There is one final mystery that you may care to ponder. Too late, I've noticed a stray word in Chapter 14 that should have been removed before publication, but somehow it slipped through the proof-reading net. Of course, Farrago will correct it on future releases, but those of you with the original version have something of a collector's item. No prizes for puzzling out the answer, but when you spot that extra word and wonder about it, you'll know what happened.

Best wishes to you all from

Hamilton Crane
