Wow, this is exciting news. You have been a very busy man. Did you publish them simultaneously? I wish you the very best of luck and hope you have many sales. Gretchen

Thanks for your kind comments, Gretchen. Yes, I've published all of these four titles within the last three months. Probably not the most sensible approach, but in these days of my antiquity I no longer take tomorrow for granted! Best wishes, Tony

Congratulations, Tony. I just bought the Kindle version. I've been thinking of buying a hard copy of one of your other books and wondered if you would sign it for me. Which one do you recommend? Again, congratulations and good luck with the book. Be well, Frank.

How kind of you, Frank. Into the Lion's Den and Panpipes are both romantic thrillers. The first is set in France, England and Pakistan, the second in Thailand and Australia. Brief synopses are on the Amazon page (http://bit.ly/3BRTFm5). Alternatively, if you prefer short stories, A Sri Lankan Tale and other stories may be more to your taste.
Since we live on opposite sides of the world, a signed copy might be difficult to arrange.
I appreciate your congratulations and good luck wishes.
All the best, Tony

My pleasure, Tony. Thanks for the suggestions. I'm looking forward to reading The Ponyfish. Be well, Frank.

Congratulations, Tony! I really enjoyed that book and just bought it for my daughter. I know she'll like it, too. Thanks for letting us know. I am so behind in doing reviews but when I get a chance I'll review it on Amazon, too.

How wonderful, Helen! I hope she enjoys it, too. The published version has been considerably pruned and has a greater focus on seahorse conservation and the relationship between Ant and Dorrie. All good wishes, Tony

Ah. But I loved the information about the aboriginal culture that you shared in the book!
-
Yes, all of that has been retained.
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
That is a great announcement for the publication of your book. The rhyme is as impressive as knowing that Ant and all the others are available in book form. I know I really enjoyed your First Nation characters with their quirky personalities and kindness.

Thank you very much for your kind words and encouragement, Carol. Thank you, too, for the sixth star. Most generous. The final version has cut out many of the subplot meanderings and concentrates more on the relationship between Ant, Dorrie and their aboriginal friends, alongside his passion for seahorse conservation and the links between his Ponyfish story and aboriginal mythology.
Comment from CrystieCookie999
This is a fun and poetic way to announce a book now for sale. Now this reader is wondering what a mophead dog looks like. I wonder if Dorrie has a green wardrobe to go with the green hair. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your kind words, Cookie. Only one way to find out! LOL

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Well I know how great your Panpipes is so, if The Ponyfish is half as good as your poetry, it'll be flying off the shelves! Thank you so much for sharing, Tony, and good luck! Debbie

Comment from Pam (respa)
Congratulations on your new publication, Tony. You certainly have been busy. Your notes are appreciated, and you wrote a good promo for your book with effective imagery and rhyme. I also like the style of the poem and the bits of humor, like repeating "for sale" and
"Amazon (the holy grail)"
You manage to include the main characters with a bit of description for each and very good closing lines. Wishing you the best for many, many sales of your book!!

Thanks very much, Pam. I appreciated your input during the editing phase. I took some of the advice given in WritersSA's manuscript assessment, and I think the central character, Ant, is now drawn more strongly and the plot is tighter. Anyway, I gather that Robert is buying a copy, so you can be the judge of that!
-
You are very welcome, Tony. I am glad you appreciated my input. It's always nice to hear. Yes, he ordered a copy, as well as The Dreamer.
Comment from Mrs. KT
Congratulations, Tony, on the publication of The Ponyfish!
And equally wonderful congratulations on the publishing of Panpipes, The Dreamer, and A Sri Lankan Tale and other stories!
You have been missed, but what rewarding reasons to be so!
Thank you for sharing!
Enjoy every moment of this special time in your life!
fondly,
diane

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Ahhh. I love it, Tony. What a creative way to remind us of the fanstory book now for sale. I think all writers should introduce their books with a song, a quote, or a poem. My favorite writer, Stephen King does.
Your poem brought good memories
