Announcing my first book - Probe8 - Eight modern mysteries of detective fiction

So, on March 27th, my first book, Probe 8, was listed on Notionpress.com 

From then to April 17th, we were sorting out one thing at a time. 

The book was next listed on Amazon, from where most of my friends bought it. 

A book is an entity unto itself. It has its own journey. 

The journey of writing the book, I have already shared in the Foreword. This post, and some that come after this, are the journey of the book. 

The book was bought, obviously, by friends and family, to do me a favour. 

But what happened after that was quite amazing. 

The readers actually LIKED the stories. 

They came back to say that this was not even their genre, but they just could not put the book down!
