Confrats on the new book! I will wait with buying it until I've bought a Kobo Aura HD (which will be soon). But be sure to know that the first book on there will be Empress of Gold!

All the best!

It is on the shelves here in Australia if that helps.

The problem lies more in the fact that I want the Kobo Aura HD, but strickly speaking I don't need it . It is available for me to buy, but I have a lot of other expenses .

Hi Ted; watch your pennies old son, they're hard to come by. You take care.

Thanks for that advice Jeff - I shall take note of it!! But I think you intended it for E-Hoog.
Am still reading - going extremely well.

Just finished Empress Gold, absolutely loved it. Just wish I'd have re-read Sons of Africa first to jog my memory.

Hurry up with the third book

Agree with everything you just said!

So much encouragement! Love you all. Thanks for your time and positive support.
Well into third book. Trust me, this one ain't easy, but sooooooooo exciting to write!!! A bit of a lone wolf; Africa to the core. The sequel to Empress Gold will follow this one. had to write it - must get it spot on, the story is pretty huge and very Victorian. Hope you will like. God bless.

By the way Jeff, I left you a review on Amazon

Many thanks, Soeley!!! Will watch out for it. Would it be on Empress Gold .com?

Jeffrey, I didn't know there was an Empress Gold.com? Jus to avoid confusion the reviw was for Empress Gold on the Amazon website.

Hi Soeley; meant Empress Gold on Amazon.com. And excuse my dumb brain. There is a review. The name threw me. What a plonker I am !!!
Again, many thanks. Would make little progress without your support.

lol, no worries. I did a search for Empress Gold.com but didn't see anything that seemed relevant. Yes my Amazon ID is MarkyMark

It's always good to give credit where it is due, it's too easy for people to report negative things, but they find it hard to report good stuff (just a generalization).

Great outlook. Some folks troll the Amazon sites just to exude their own spite. To Quote a famous American author: "One star reviewers are more often than not, failed writers."
Again, many thanks.

Hi Ted; paperback copy of Sons of Africa will be out on Amazon.com and others, within the next month. Empress Gold paperback will follow soon after. You take care.

Hi John; Paper back edition of Sons of Africa and Empress Gold will be out on Amazon within next six weeks. Sorry it took so long. Take care.

Good to hear from you. Good luck with the writing!

How're you doing E? Thought I'd let you and a couple of others know that Sons of Africa and Empress Gold will be out in paperback on Amazon, sometime within the next six weeks. Look after yourself.

Ain't that something Jeff!!! - congratulations!! I'll keep my eyes open - my breath is bated. I assume that Amazon must be delighted with the Kindle response to your books so that a venture into hard copy is warranted.
best wishes tedd

Jeff - you can take a well-earned vacation now - come back in a week and get stuck into the third book!!

Hi Tedd, just had a welcome week's break by the sea. Back home and back in chains for the third book; 50 pages in and loving it. Will keep you posted.

Hi Jeff,

I'm doing well. Good to hear that you took a well deserved break! I'm still looking forward to Empress Gold. Very excited about the paperback! Let us know when it's available
