this is just to let everyone know that while my new book DOING CARTWHEELS ON DOOMSDAY AFTERNOON won't "officially" be out till March 1st, i've recieved word from my publisher that between now and March 1st they will be accepting (and shipping) mail-in orders only.  so, if anyone's interested in subjecting themselves to the cruel and unusual punishment of my new book, and you don't want to wait, you can get your copy by mailing a check (or cash) for $20 to:

Epic Rites Press
240-222 Baseline Road
Suite #206
Sherwood Park, Alberta
Canada T8H 1S8

     That price includes shipping to anywhere on the map.  That's a huge savings for anyone outside the US or Canada.  AFTER March 1st, orders outside those two countries will be charged the going rate for shipping.  Also, please bear in mind that if you send your mail order from the US, postage is $.75 to Canada.
     Thanks a million!  i'll also post another notice on March 1st listing the various ways the book can then be bought.
     Take care!

Looking forward to having a good look, John! Tom

thanks larry and tom;
     your support means a lot.  this is a new publisher for me (Epic Rites Press) and i'm doing everything i can to make this book a winner for them.  and i couldn't do it without the help of each and every one of you. 
     additionally, doing this early mail-in thing will save some money for many buyers, because after march 1st, orders will all go thru Small Press Distributors and be subject to whatever is the current shipping rate.
    i tell ya...i've been publishing for 41 years now and i still feel like a kid every time i have a new book come out. 
     thanks again...

John, I am putting my money in the mail this weekend to pick up a copy! Look forward to getting it

i'm ordering mine this weekend too.

thanks, guys!  i really appreciate that!  getting published is great...but people tend to forget that if your books don't SELL, you ain't gonna get published anymore.  so, thank you!  very much.
john

just a little reminder here...if anyone was thinking about taking advantage of the special advance pricing on my new book, DOING CARTWHEELS ON DOOMSDAY AFTERNOON, remember that the special expires March 1st.  after that, normal pricing and shipping rates will apply.  info is at the top of this thread.
thanks.
