Double Service… a quaint little murder mystery set in London in World War Two, is now available… just by clicking the link… which is a button cleverly disguised as a picture of the book… over there in my sidebar on the right side of this blog page.
If you click that picture, you will be magically transported to a place where, for a nominal fee, they will print you a copy of the book, and send it to wherever you want them to send it to.
I mean, think about it. Think of all the stuff that went into making this possible.
First of all, I had to be born, then go to school and learn rudimentary English, then make up all the people and plots and stuff that went into the book.
Somebody had to invent the English language in the first place, and then figure out how to make a written version, and then invent printing… and computers…
A tree had to grow, and then be cut down with tools that somebody also had to invent… and then be sent to a place where it was ground up and milled into paper.
And, of course, money had to be invented, so that both I and the publishers could actually get something for all this work we did.
The internet had to exist in order for me to have a blog in which to tell you about the book, and so there was a place to put the button… cleverly disguised as a picture of the book… for you to click to get the book.
The post office had to be invented, and stamps, and trucks and planes to carry the book to you.
When you get right down to it, thousands of people worked for thousands of years to make this book happen.
We even had to have a global war against the Nazis… just to have an interesting historical background for the novel to take place in.
And all you have to do is click a button, type a few things into a few boxes, and then sit there waiting in anticipation for the book to show up right on your doorstep.
That seems like a pretty good deal.
Pouring My Art Out 
I set a reminder too, Art! I remember pieces of this when you posted it (but I couldn’t find it all, so I waited.)
Congratulations!
well, I purposely didn’t post the last few chapters… HA!
I am officially putting you on that reminderer we discussed a couple weeks ago. 🙂
remind me of what you were reminding me of?
I said I’d pay you double if you’d ship me one so I don’t have to sign up for that website. I hate signing up for websites just to shop.
I don’t think you actually have to sign up… but I can send you a signed copy for the normal price as long as you cover the shipping from them to me and from me to you.
Yes, I tried the first time and I tried again when you put the link up recently. I have to join to shop. Not the only website that does it but LOL it always annoys me.
well sorry about that
It’s not your fault, it’s just the way some webstores do things, I’m sure they have a reason for it.
right
I will cover all the costs, we’ve done this before… remember? I’m good for it email me your address and I can send you the money in advance or paypal it over via email or some such. I think last time we did a money order?
I ordered a few copies already. When they get here, I will let you know. I am not sure what it will cost to ship it to you, but I will email you.

ok
Reblogged this on perfectlyfadeddelusions and commented:

You promised a laugh and you didn’t disappoint! Lots of luck with the new book.
I gotta stop promising laughs… that is too much pressure!
