Thanks for the update Jason. The writing process sounds fascinating. I’m really glad you decided to go with the more detailed approach and look forward to pouring over the minutiae. Frederick Forsyth is another writer who didn’t skimp on detail and he did ok for himself! A friend has self published on Amazon after not getting any takers in the publishing world. This has been a resounding success for her. I do however agree with Ben G’s comment that it would be great to have a hard copy sitting on the bookshelf - perhaps even a signed one 😉. Why not do both? Best of luck with the home stretch.
I look forward to this. Your Grey NATO reading recommendations have been very sound, so I have high expectations.
I know nothing about publishing but have you considered going down the Amazon/Kindle route? They may well scalp you horribly but they have real reach, particularly via Kindle. I can only imagine the potential suffering involved in trying to fulfill thousands of hard copy orders out of your basement/garage...
Thanks! Nothing is off the table, so Kindle could be down the road, and audiobook, etc. But at first I'll go with paperback printing, because, well, I want tangible evidence that I pulled it off. :)
Please don’t! I’d love to have a first edition Heaton in my bookshelf. It’ll sit right next to Carré, Connelly and Winslow... (no pressure. No dive-related pun intended.)
after seeing the words summer 2021 my heart dropped...then at the end was lifted by a promise of a chapter :) ... seems you are an accomplished thriller author ;)
Thank you for the update, Jason - it's very interesting to read/hear updates here/on TGN about the writing process. I'm very much looking forward to reading the early excerpt. Are you planning to offer international shipping for the hard copies? Greetings from Frankfurt, Germany!

Forsyth! Yes! Forgot about him. Note to self to read more of his. Thanks!

Yes. Would love a Kindle option too, so that I could read from the phone. Something to ponder.
Good stuff... looking forward to it.
Looking forward to the novel
Looking forward to your novel, nice to see someone sticking on his ideas no matter what...
I look forward to purchasing and reading your novel. I agree with you regarding details.
A while ago, on your recommendation in a TGN podcast, I purchased a used set of all the Ian Fleming 007 novels in paperback. A small treasure.
Thanks a lot for the support! Glad you enjoyed the Flemings.

Haha, practice makes perfect!
Best of luck, sir. Can’t wait to see it when it comes out

I'll definitely offer shipping of the book internationally! Thanks for the interest!
Would love to read this! As a diver I’d find it fascinating and as a pedant I’d enjoy the proof reading ;)
Well, don't be too hard on me. ;)
