Ha! When I first saw the title of the thread, I thought - “He’s published!” That’s great news! I, too, am in Kobo-land and will have to wait until this evening to download it, when I will have more time to swear at computers. ---

> [@What\_the](#): > > That was my first thought when I read it 😃 > > Congrats !!! I have to admit, as I was reading that review the first time, even I thought it had to be from some friend or family member. But then clicking on the guy’s name, I see he has written over 230 reviews of books on Amazon - so I guess he is simply a voracious reader and likes posting reviews of new books he has read. And thanks all for your support. I appreciate it and hope you like the book. And please feel free to make comments after you read it - publicly or privately in a PM. ---

I’m assuming the use of Comic Sans on the cover is a rhetorical device? 😉 ---

\ Here’s a good back cover blurb: [http://instagram.com/p/jQTtTtzWds/](http://instagram.com/p/jQTtTtzWds/) It’s the author’s daughter, who couldn’t read at the time. \ Bought it. Read some last night. Enjoying it. Thanks for the heads up. I needed a book to read last night. ---

That was funny as hell. I really enjoyed it- more than I thought I would, as I’m not into espionage type reading. When is the next book due out? ---

Thanks for the compliment, and I am really glad you liked it. Regarding the next book in the series, I am not quite sure when it will be ready - hopefully soon. ---

Nice work! Can’t remember the last time I read a book in one day. One trivial nitpick: In Chapter 46, “Gedaenknis Kirche” should be “Gedaechtniskirche” or “Gedächtniskirche”. Looking forward to the next one. ---

Another fast reader! And that is quite the embarrassing error. Considering I walked past that church probably 1000 times or more, you would think I could spell it correctly! Ouch. Thanks for the catch! It will be corrected shortly for future downloads of the book. Happy to hear you liked it and zipped right through it! ---

> [@Nava](#): > > And amazon says they’ll write to me once they’ve reviewed my review. Thank you so much for that review on Amazon!!! So glad you liked Fool Proof, and loved your comments. BTW, I think you might have sent me an email to an account I don’t use anymore - you can PM me and I can give you my newer email address. Thanks again! And another thanks to all of you for giving the book a chance! ---
