Andy,
Welcome to the board, and thanks for reading my books.
I'm glad you could get them from Amazon UK. Hopefully Amazon will replenish their Kabuki stock I love to see UK and all international readers on this board.
I really appreciate the story you just let us in on!
That is a very powerful story, and I feel like I understand it, and have similar experiences. Similar parallels in milestone life experiences that correspond to what I am reading, writing, or drawing.
Thanks for sharing.
