I will fight the man that hates Australia; whether they be demon-crap or repulsive-can (That last bit may be inside humor to Americans enduring a political campaign :-)
I bought an e-book via Books-a-Million. I company I have typically found reputable. I bout the file, downloaded it, then found it would not open in any of my e-book readers. I had to install a special e-book reader. The new reader would not open the old file either. Cutting to the chase, I ended up spending a couple of weeks and paying for another copy to buy the e-book.
On the good side, Scott got more money, and the Book is worth the wait.
Now: If someone has any trouble purchasing US goods from out of the US, I will give any (legal) aid I can.
More books, please.

I chatted with my publisher and based on the responses of you eager folks, we are going to try and get Book 2 out earlier than scheduled. We are shooting for October. Now all I have to do is write the darn thing

Then you better get busy before both sides pay you a visit in the middle of the night wanting to know why it's not finished yet

I can do alot as most will testify to on this forum - but, its usually poorly scripted 'chatter' and certain fall way short of scotts excellent work. Yes! Oct. would be wonderful - go scott go!! btw what was the count on the 1st book (minus maps of coarse). btwbtw more maps if possible in book two (filler lol).

The first book was 95,000 words give or take, which is actually kind of short for me. Most of my other novels are 125,000 words or more. But the publisher wanted it under 100,000. I'm going to try and talk him into a bit longer for Book 2. Our current plans for how things go will probably demand a longer book. But we shall see. And yes, there will be more maps!

Well, go for it - just keep working (martian tentacle with whip comes to mind, being the AQ forum hivemind on this) and by the time you're at 70k look up and finalize with the publisher. Based on the first book, you're writing is tight enough to do under 100k again especially if there are more maps (every map = X number of words not needed). One request - don't do any double page maps that require a fold. Its hard enough to make out all the units, etc, without the middle of the map being folded by the book (ei page 109 & 110 are the map for battle Y). We're all looking forward to it Scott - and don't forget to have a look at loyalist new 'Medium Gun Truck Unit' on a different thread. I'm sure some of the guns would be portee by this writing. Promotion for a certain character??

You definitely have at least two copies sold already, one for me and one for my dad when it comes out.

No, Book 2 is not on preorder yet! I assume phgamer means the first book. But I'm up to about 25,000 words on Book 2. Currently writing a creepy scene in a Martian feeding chamber!
