Thank you for following my blog, discovered in play. I look forward to checking yours out, as well. I started reading the preview of your book on Amazon, and… just as I was getting into it! and thinking my 8-year-old daughter would love it… I realized that I can’t download it in the US. Nooo! 🙂 Great story, though– I enjoy your writing very much.

I’ve now added a link to download Gateway to Magic from amazon.com for people outside the UK – should have been a no-brainer, really! Once again, many thanks to Jaime for the heads-up.
