Two reasons. Firstly, if you are a creative professional, Twitter, bad as it can be, is a great place to connect to your fans and potential fans. That means that artists, writers, musicians, cartoonists etc are there for professional reasons, not purely social or recreational. It’s part of your job.

Secondly, Twitter…

For those people saying that crossbreeding is the answer, remember that crossbreeding doesn’t necessarily solve genetic problems. Many other “pure” breeds have exactly the same genetic issues as bulldogs, if not so intense. For example, breeding a golden retriever with a boxer will still result in a pup with a good…

This is the information I was looking for. Needs to be more visible.

Oh! Right!

Yep I'm going to try exactly that.

OK wait! I can see it on Amazon.uk. And it’s not that expensive either. Great.

Ugh. It must be some kind of region setting thing then (I’m in South Africa). I did a search in the Kindle store and the only thing that came up other than the print versions was the audible book. I suppose that’s an option! :)

Am I looking in the wrong place, or is there no ebook version of this book?

The series required a good helping of suspension of disbelief :) But yes, it did, indeed, end.

Agreed. I love this series - have read it more than once - but it does sort of fall apart at the end, especially with all the horror stuff that starts going on once Johnny Wulgaro takes control. But still, Science Fiction set partly in my own country, how rare is that!

I do find it ironic that they say “We encourage submissions from anyone, around the world, regardless of gender, race, religion, location, lifestyle or anything else.” Limiting it to physical submission makes it significantly more difficult for those of us not living in a first world country.

... but will they include ALL THE FARTING??!! The “wizz pops” if I remember correctly.

Hey! I only just discovered Blacksad. So cool! And rather undisney :-) .
