Great to see Devil With A Gun is still at No. 1 on Amazon (and this is of All Books) across the globe for the final day of the giveaway. 13,000 downloads so far, and sales of the other two Dixie books have really popped, too

I'm thinking it's time that I give this wee YA novel a polish and publish it in ebook form (plus it's unpublished sequel). Not sure why I haven't done it before. The book was published in Canada in 2000 - 8 years before SWITCH was picked up by Bantam UK. First, I have to finish the new novel.

It’s so wonderful to see readers responding so positively to No Cry For Help. I still find it odd that it was never published outside the UK, Australia and Germany (Translated). The North American version is self-published.

Doug writes: "One of the very few books that I have rated at the maximum rating. Excellent fast reading with a minimal amount of characters to attempt to remember. The descriptive use of English places this book at the top of one’s read list . Would make a good action movie." #thriller #mystery
