 Dear Sir

Thank you for your insight.

I do understand where you are coming from but please understand my side of things.

I have spent the last four years of my life dedicated to this project and it was damn hard work and very expensive to produce. I am losing money on every book I sell but I do not write my books to make money but to try and inform my readers of the truth. During this last 4 years I have also had a very serious illness.

I am not into Digital and have no intention of doing so.

I was guided by two very close digitally minded friends who told me that once you put something on digital you kind of lose control and I do not want to do so. You may call me a semi- luddite and you are probably right as I do not even own a mobile phone or an iPad but still have an enjoyable life.

However, the fact that we sold out on the first print to me,justifies my thinking.

This is a self publishing project not a major publishing house in control. I did have two offers to do so but declined because they wanted to make changes and I wanted to put it out as I seemed fit as I have in my last 3 books on Holly and Cochran.

This is all I am going to say.
