I would like to pre-order Volt. Is this the proper place to leave that request?

Alan cannot wait to read this I’ve ordered it. Great write up by Don Pollock, great guy/writer and a good friend. He’s blurbed both my books. Glad to see another gritty writer break through the mainstream.

Interesting review! Nice story! Will be glad to read it too! As well as to share a suggestion of mine, which every good writer would like I guess? Using sites like zazzle.com, caffepress.com, fiverr, etc? They could be a good way for promotion and “removing” stupidity in streets like headlines on t-shirts, fridge magnets, cups, etc. of the kind My Boyfriend kisses better than yours, FBI – Female Body Inspector, etc… Every author could use some good, wise quotes from his/her works, some poems, illustrations, etc. I’m allanbard there, I use some of my quotes, illustrations, poems, like: One can fight money only with money, Even in the hottest fire there’s a bit of water, All the problems in the world lead to one – narrow-minded people, Money are amongst the last things that make people rich, or
Love and happiness will be around,
as all the chains will disappear!
And Mountaineers will climb their mount,
and there won’t be any tear!
Best wishes! Keep the good work going! LET THE WONDERFUL NOISE OF THE SEA ALWAYS SOUNDS IN YOUR EARS! (a greeting of the water dragons’ hunters – my Tale Of The Rock Pieces).
