If not please be artfully tactful when you leave your Amazon.com reader review.
I only have a handful of Amazon reviews, for all the books I read. And those are almost all negative, after something really disappoints me. So no review would equal good news, from me.
Maybe I can stretch myself and make a positive review for you, though.
That would be too easy, MM. I think it's intended to be a shorter, more "Book-title friendly" way of saying "The challenges one faces due to his own folly".

Well said, dAN.
Thank you, Avalest. I hope you enjoy it.

I'm not sure what the problem is with that. I don't have a clue if its selling or not but I do know the official release date of 4/21/05 is still about 2 weeks away. Something interesting I've noticed so far is that the book is available in at least 4 other countries than the U.S. and is being peddled on no less than 8 different online bookstores in the U.K. Here are a couple of links I found.

I don't know what all this means but at least the book is out there.
More than sales I'd like to read some critical reviews. I know for certain my first published work is flawed. I'd like some advice on how to improve. I have at least 4 full length novels and another collection of short stories in the works so I'd like to get a heads up on what my greatest weaknesses are. That should prove to be interesting reading indeed.

Thanks for the review Duchess. I've been distracted by helping to open a new Land Surveying office for my company and haven't had much time to keep up with current affairs. I was so pleased to see your review. I don't have a clue how the book is doing. I've not lifted a finger to promote it. I'm sure that is a mistake but it couldn't be helped. Once life gets back to normal I'll try to check into it all and more importantly get back to work on my next few stories.
