Roy Got a bit peeved that Amazon let the paperback edition of Patches of Grey go out of stock, especially now during the holiday shopping season, but at least they responded by placing the biggest order they ever have. Books are on the way, people! The Kindle edition of course won't be going out of stock, and in case you forgot, it will be FREE 12/24 - 12/25.

My Rate 5
An incredible story by a gifted writer. Sexy prose that builds up to a stunning conclusion. I can't get this book out of my head and wish it could have kept going on and on. I'm really looking forward to reading more of his stuff.

Roy I'm rolling Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday all into one and adding GREY SUNDAY to the mix. That means autographed copies of the print edition of Patches of Grey purchased directly from me via PayPal (see details at RoyPickering.net) will be on sale 11/25 - 11/28 for $8.99. Nothing aids digestion better than a good book (with a glass of ginger ale). Happy Thanksgiving.
