No, nothing wrong. Can't see the number anywhere though (I'm not tech savvy, so probably not looking in the right place).

I read the first 8 chapters last night TB I thought it was excellent loved how it started with no messing about.
Just one question after reading your bio....how on earth did you become a Claret ?

My wife, who I've been with for 20 years, is Burnley mad! Her dad was from Peart Street in Burnley, and he took her to matches from 10 years old.She started taking me to matches as soon as we met, and now I'm as mad about Burnley as she is!

Supporting the Clarets...a very difficult addiction to break.

I'm about 9 chapters in, enjoying it so far, certainly starts quickly!
I'm a bit confused about one aspect of the early part of the story, regarding timings of events but it may be me not understanding properly, I'll have to go back and re-read it when I've finished. So far so good though.

The best thing you can do is try and get JJ Watt to advertise it on twitter for you.
I reckon he will love the Burnley theme.

Thanks dushanbe. I'm glad you're enjoying it. Hopefully it makes sense on a re-read!

I thought that too, but I've absolutely no idea how to get in contact with him. All I would need him to do is post a link to the Amazon page.

If you're not on twitter but friends with Justine at the Royal Dyche.
Ask her too put a tweet up from the RD account and tag JJ Watt to retweet for you.
Make sure it has the name, author and link to kindle etc.. or any other online methods.

Thanks Quicken. I've just been speaking with Justine to ask her advice. I've messaged her with your idea.

I have purchased as well on my Kindle and looking forward to starting this in a week or so once I've finished my current murder trilogy. Been on this genre for a couple of years now and it's incredible how many novels are out there from outside the 'established' names.

Thank you for downloading giveusaB. If you like Burnley connections, I think you will particularly enjoy the last third of the book.
