• Please note:  This was the first “edition” of the novel, my exploration of Print on Demand services and attempt to get the book out in early 2011.   If you want to fully appreciate the story, I really, really recommend you read the ebook version.

November 2014: This early, experimental Print on Demand edition is no longer available.  We are working on a new one in-between day jobs, etc.  The next print edition should be out by …  2023. We’re in no hurry.  T
