Hey Des, I can't see a "buy it" button on the above webpage - am I missing something? Mind you, only just back from Ireland and absolutely exhausted tonight so it might be there, I just can't see it.

People are advised to write to me in the first instance, until it gets on Amazon in a month or two. I'm buying up supplies of the book gradually at author's prices and selling them on at a reasonable price inclusive of postage (with my signature if requested).

By way of a plug, Rhys said he really liked my story in it today. It's great hearing stuff like that.

It has the First Performance of Turnae's Canon Fever.

A quote from one of the stories that seems to match the front cover (a cover that I think works even better in real life than on-line)

"Hovering dreamlike above them I could see they contained the musical notation for an ambitious symphony, though judging by the number of torn and wadded up sheets, violent pen slashes marring many of the pages, it didn't appear to be going too well. And even though I recognised a few standard notes, there were many that I didn't, nor did I recognise them as normal notes per se. Strange, nonsense markings stood out in various places on the musical staff, indicating ... I know not what. Nor did I know what sort of musical instrument, or what sort of string could produce such so-called notes."
-- from STRINGS by S.D. Tullis

The first five *current* UK RCMB members not in the book who email me with the three story titles that relate to the three composers below will get a free copy of it (i.e. by guessing the answers or by osmosis or by asking people who might know!):-

We did our best with classical music in horror stories. But we shall need to get better.

I can safely say, hand on heart, that bad reviews do not bother me. They used to, but not anymore. If I am happy with a story I'm bulletproof, if I'm not, then I agree with the bad review. I can't lose.
