Tobacco-Stained Mountain Goat

[Andrez]

One hefty element of happiness is... getting the printed, bound and published version of your novel for the very first time in your mitts!!!

They're here - ZOUNDS.



It's a bit of a cut-up fusion of genres - which made it difficult for me to choose which category to throw this into. My editor (Kristopher Young, who penned Click), when pressed, put it thus:

"The book itself is indescribable, really - noirish, subtly sci-fi, hard-boiled, futuristic; Blade Runner with a touch of Sam Spade, a smattering of Orson Welles circa Touch of Evil, or The Third Man. And a shot of bourbon."

The biggest ever possible thanks to Kristopher, Bob and everyone else at Another Sky Press for their tireless work, belief and madly cool assistance on this beastie - it's their baby as much as is mine. And cheers to family and mates for all their support and encouragement over the years it took to finish off the yarn.

Here're the front and back covers, with the barcode - and we even have a darn-tootin' ISBN number!



I think I'm still a little bit in shock, really - so I'll stop gabbling here and sit down with a strong coffee to pore over one of the copies I have beside me.
