You know why they took so long... to try to make more profit, they're not ordering them from publishers now, they're making them in the garden shed at the bottom of the Amazon staff garden.
Hi Gina,
Great news! After two weeks of waiting Amazon has just sent an e-mail that my copy of:'The Wonderful Demise of Benjamin Arnold Gumpy' is on its way to Australia. Terrific!
Happy reading and writing, Stuart
Wow! I'm a Smallheath boy myself. You're going to love my latest novel, Redemption Songs, a crime thriller set in the West Midlands and I would love a critique/review. If you're interested, furnish me with an e-mail address and I'll send a manuscript.

Hi Gina,
Could have sworn I just e-mailed you! You're welcome to the friendship. I also used to live in Devon and love it down there...but those dark Satanic mills of the West Midlands are in my blood!!!

Amazon is mean. They expect me to pay with a credit or debit card. Who in their right mind would trust me with one of those, let alone expect me to pay with one? =(
I think the only time you can be claimed as being addicted or obsessed with SG1. Is if you have the Jaffa(cakes) armour in your front room, and a shrine to Jack O'neill -TWO "L'S"!- (it can't be Richard Dean Anderson on his own. Seeing as he was also Mcguyver.)Come to think of it. I might buy it... It's a toss up of SG1 or Farscape. =(
