    While I would not be upset with getting a signed copy, the reason I am following this thread is simply to find out when I can purchase copies the rest of the book. I have read up through chapter 20 months ago, and NEED to finish it. It appears I found this story about two weeks after the entire book was pulled from here. It has been a LONG wait.

    UPDATE:
    The files have been sent to the printing company. I have to wait on a proof, and once that's approved, we'll have books for sale on Amazon shortly. I don't know how busy the printer is, but I have my fingers crossed that we are in time for Christmas presents. Amazon says you can order by the 16th with Super Saver shipping and by the 20th with standard shipping and they will have it there for Christmas. Please keep your fingers crossed that we make these dates. I didn't think the layout would be as much work as it turned out to be, but it was.

    There will be a way to order and have shipped signed and numbered copies, but that probably won't be available for Christmas shipping. I'll have more details as we get closer to having books. If you want to buy one from Amazon before Christmas and send it to me to sign after the holidays, we'll find a way to make that happen for just the postage. Of course Melbo will be getting the first group of signed copies available.

    We should have the Kindle version available at or about the same time as the printed book. We will look at offering other formats in the future, but Kindle is what we are going with first.

    While the storyline is pretty much the same as it was in the PDF, there are some changes. Of course the spelling and grammar is cleaned up, but many of the problems and inconsistencies that you all made me aware of as the story was being written have been fixed. It's not perfect, but it's a darn sight better than what it was.

    Stay tuned here for more info as I have it.

    Thanks again for all the help and support over the years. I am now going to work hard to get L&F finished and have it available next year.

    God bless,

    David

    PS - Here's the cover for the first edition.

    OK folks, it is getting down to the wire, and we need to establish a closing date for the drawing. If you know anyone that might want in, light a fire under them posthaste. It's melbo's choice for closing day, but I'd just about bet it will be when David OK's the proof and sends it to the printer.

    There are close to 200 members entered so far.
