And if you don't want to show a picture of the novel at least give me a cut of the profits for no particular reason. Nah I'm joking mate, it's all yours.  Congrats. |

Rod has the only copy (so far) because he needed it to make the amendments for version 2. If he gets a chance perhaps he'll post a pic.
We've ordered a few copies of the amended version for promo purposes and they should be through next week. Once I've received those and am happy, the book will be going onto online stores.

Here's the cover for your viewing pleasure (ignore the grey - that's just from the scanner)...  As Tony said the revised copies should be with us by mid week hopefully and as long as the layout is 100% perfect this time it will then be available for sale. It will be immediately available for sale through the publisher (£9.99 + £3 odd postage), but Amazon and other online stores may take a week or so to upload the data to their websites for sale through them. |

MK 2 of the book has arrived and it is good. The competition (as promised) for a signed copy of my book will be placed here on this site on Friday of this week (the 24th of October). Entries will need to be in by the Friday following PM (UK time on the 31st) so please visit the site if you want a signed copy of my book free of charge. It will consist of an *easy* TWoTW related question and all correct answers will go into a hat to be drawn from on the Friday the 31st afternoon. I'll announce the winner on the board, and notify them by PM, on the next day. Good luck! P.S. The thread on which the compo will appear is here... evilnerfherder.proboards78.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=oops&thread=1504&page=1 |

Hi Nerfy,
I received a copy of your book for Christmas and wanted to give you some feedback on it...
I thought the story was great (like I did when I read the original online) and I feel the published novel is definitely more polished and has a lot more to it that the original. My only criticism - which is quite a big one - is the amount of spelling and grammar errors through-out the book, especially the first quarter.
Other than that, it was fully worth the money spent.
DE

Thanks for that, glad you liked the rewrite, DE. There's quite a bit more story in the book than in the original site version and I think it reads much better now. I know there are errors (although, in my defence, some phrasings, etc, were deliberately done in a different style to that which we are used to in this day and age and do look a little odd). Fact is, I didn't have a professional editor who could devote their whole time to the book at the time and you really need several pairs of eyes to spot these things. That was a luxury I couldn't afford. Also the publishers didn't check the text at all before printing. Getting it out there was more important for me, I guess. Maybe for the next one I'll be more organised, eh? Thanks again for the feedback! |

Hey Evelnerfherder, the thing is the book is out, and i am very happy for you, i know, i dont have money to pay anyone to check for the spelling mistake and other things for me, and i know that Google can help i will check in to it, and also there is a program in microsof, that is the best i will be able to do,
I know your book is good i am sure of it.

Thanks for the kind words. Shame more people didn't find out about it.  Well, it may well be re-released in 2012 (expanded and improved), but we'll see. This, of course, means that 'TWoTW:Rememberance' is well and truly shelved (if not binned) as well. With that 'Goliath' anime thing coming out, my planned sequel may now be pointless. That's a ton of research down the sewer. Never mind, eh? |

I find amazon very strange, rather, the sellers on amazon. There are new ones on there for £9.99, then someone comes along with a used one and decides a good price for that would be over £16! why would someone try and sell it at that price? odd people. btw Im not saying its not worth it of course, I just cant see why they would think a used version would sell at a higher price than a new one on the same site |

Wells......or his ghost. That could make it even more valuable. |
