Ah yes, the blog! Mustn't forget the blog. Hello friends, thanks so much for the kind comments and emails you've been sending!
I read them all, but sometimes even I don't quite know what to say. I also want to avoid making it look like every comment is scrutinized and dissected and commented upon by the author. That's a bit creepy, probably. But I do read it all and any and all remarks about grammar and other mistakes are particularly welcome. You can also reach out to me directly, via the messaging function of this site.
The previous book, which sets off this story, is available for premium members of this site. Why not try it out and support a good cause? You can also buy 'This Is Your Carstairs Speaking' AND the new story, 'Carstairs of Arabia' RIGHT NOW from bookapy.com. In doing so you'll support both me and this site. Also, no waiting! This book has 28 chapters, so it will be somewhere around June 2020 before we reach the finale. (Wait, am I doing this right? 25 chapters to go, that's 25 weeks. 4.3 weeks to a month.... Yeah, sounds about right.)
Are you willing to wait that long? Seriously?! And that's assuming you come back here every week. If you're one of those precious people who won't read anything marked 'in progress', you may very well miss the window between when the story is complete here and the moment I make it available for premium members only.
Still, I'm not your mum. Do as you please. But this book took me TWO years to write. Isn't that worth the price of a movie ticket and a medium popcorn? Sure it is! So head on over to bookapy.com and treat yourself!
If you bought the previous book here or via my own website, I also offer a discount for this book. More info at my own website, which I assume you know about.
Anyway, must dash. I'm already working on the next book. It's just that my children are so hungry, I keep having to stop to take on jobs as a free lance dung shoveler... (please imagine some sad violin music here). It's not easy, let me tell you. But hey, enjoy your free prime quality novel! Don't mind me. I'll manage.
Your close, personal friend,
Ron Dudderie
