So, my latest novel, Pistoleers, is live as an ebook on Amazon.

In the Foreword, which you can read by clicking on the Read Sample preview if you follow the link, there is A Warning. Basically, it gives you reasons why you might not want to buy this book.

You should read it before you plunk your money down.
