>>That is great news, JT. I clicked to order it but
all I got was my email
opening up instead of an online form like I expected.
<<
We had an online ordering system for direct sales but it
proved to be more of a hassle than it was worth. This being
such a small amount of our sales we gave up on it for now.
I'll write you offline -- the book will be available through
various online sellers and you can use credit cards and
online ordering systems with these, though it'll be a small
while before the books can be ordered through them. With us
it's either check or PayPal (no credit cards).
>>I notice another book by Douglas Fairbairn called
STREET 8. Is anybody
familiar with it? I read the summary on JT's site and it
sounds interesting, too. I've never heard of Fairbairn
before.<<
I wouldn't want to blow our own horn here (well, yeah I
would, but I shouldn't) but STREET 8 and SHOOT are tough,
gritty hardboiled classics that very few people know about.
SHOOT is more action, a really fast read (the only books
remotely like it in pace I can think of are Marc Behm's
AFRAID TO DEATH and Joe Gores' INTERFACE), while STREET 8 is
slower, sad and chilling. No likeable characters found in
either, but realistic and scary. What I've heard about
Fairbairn is that he was a truly wonderful, kind and gentle
man
(he wrote two books about his friendship with a squirrel)...
but these books are nothing like he was.
