Yeah self published through createspace and amazon kdp, quite a straightforward process actually in the end. I don't have the time or energy to hawk it around to publishers (or more likely the talent) so this was the obvious solution.

Grammar may have had some liberties taken but the final product pretty well edited imo, however I am sure people may find the odd howler

Meh, the odd mistake hardly ruins a book.

Anyone moaning about that shit should not be allowed to read.

I will claim artistic license on any mistakes, or blame the editor. Actually that's probably easier

Don't worry there is no mention of Citeh anywhere in the book anyhow if you click ze link there is a brief description on the kindle page but for you:

man gets pissed off
man gets idea
man maybe follows through on idea
bad stuff going down all over the place
amazing finale*

*may include several unlikely car chases and shoot out in outer space.

Send me your email and I shall mail it to you, free and for nothing, and gratis
