All the offshore POD didn't want to deal with off-shore authors (then!) The publisher I are now using has just signed on with Amazon, so POD may be an option in the near future. Thanks for the link!

A nice mild load to shoot! Gunner- that was my target, but there is something for everyone! I want to build up a few more sales for the ebook- that gives me something to put on the table when selling it to a 'dead-tree publisher'!
