Absolutely cannot be the end! We have to get Clio through Harry and Julio needs a girl friend.
Absolutely appreciated the picture of the "cat" - glad you got them involved in this story.
Jason - it is a great work, and it can't really be called sci-fi, but a great story. Move it to the top of your TBR list you will not regret it.

Well, I just started Child 44 but you've convinced me to try this one next.

Thank you for doing this Al, just downloaded a copy from Smashwords. I've been meaning to get around to trying your books and this pushed me over the edge. It'll be my next read. I just started the Fixer Files Jon F. Merz, it has 34,340 locations so it will take me a while to finish the whole thing, lol, but I'm thinking I'll squeeze DC in between a few of the stories.

"Authors get the most publicity at launch and need to strike while the iron is hot. If readers can't get their preferred format at that moment, they may buy a different book or just not buy a book at all." - An Amazon spokesman.
“It doesn’t matter how good or bad the product is, the fact is that people don’t read anymore. 40% percent of the people in the U.S. read one book or less last year. The whole conception is flawed at the top because people don’t read anymore.” - S. Jobs

I have the same problem. I would rather buy it from Amazon to make it easier to read on both my Kindle and my iPhone. Unfortunatey Amazon still has the price at $5, not $1. Is that still going to change?

Oh, crap! = bother! I hadn't checked, but I will. Blasted Amazon sometimes. I don't know what I can do if they refuse to change it. Maybe I can call their man in Mumbai... |

Aww, nuts. I just checked my account for DC1 at Kindle. I have the price listed at $1 (the lowest they would allow). Back when I did that I got a screen that said it would take 24 hours to go into effect. I never checked, but it obviously didn't. I'm sorry, traci and merlin7676, and anyone else who ran into this. If you don't want to get the Smashwords version, please send me an email address by pm. I'll email it to you personally. *&^%#$@@, anyway. |

Grumble, grumble. It's all a big computer program. I don't think there's a carbon-based life form anywhere around there. But OK, thanks for the info. I'll wait a little longer. In the meantime, I've sent one out directly (see above) and I'll do the same for anyone else who'll pm me an email address. Don't cost no dollar, either! |

Thanks for the offer, but was just as easy to get it at Smashwords. For those wanting it on the iPhone, keep in mind that there are other formats there, which should work (although it can be a bit more work). On the Kindle, if you truly hate USB, just email it (less than a buck). Of course, if you want it in the archive and to sync locations between a Kindle and the iPhone, the Kindle store is the only choice (so far). |

And thank YOU for the privilege of having you read it! Please remember, each one is slightly different (just as the history of a family evolves over time). I'll always love the scared girl on the run in West Texas, but, as surely as kittens become cats, she couldn't stay that way.... |

I just downloaded it for my daughter's Kindle (she's visiting this weekend). I'm sure she'll be hooked and be forced to buy the other three.  That's the one thing I don't like about Amazon e-books, my daughter and I have similar tastes and we used to swap books all the time. Before you comment, my daughter is 32 and NO I won't put her on my account, I'll go broke. jp |

Well jp, you surely did guess what would have been my next question.
And as my grown daughter is a "reader" also, I know exactly what you are saying.

Seriously, though, as the drug dealers say (I'm guessing they say this), the first one is free. Or pm me and I'll send it toot sweet. |

It finally struck me: now that Distant Cousin is a proud member of Operation E-Book Drop, and is free to service members and their families, why shouldn't it also be free to Kindleboarders? After all, we're all related, aren't we?
Of course we are. We just tend to forget that. So the coupon code in the first post is still good. Here's to us all! (Insert saluting smiley)

This just in: Ana Darcy Mendez, the only extraterrestrial to have her own blog, has begun answering reader questions again. Yesterday's question was asked by a Kindle Boards member, and more members will have their questions answered in the days ahead. See the link in the signature line, below.  |

I finished the first book, Al.
Now I am going to get book 2 and get started on it (see the free one works).
Hope to continue to love the series.
Just sayin.....
