The Spanish Helmet at Whitcoulls (NZ)
For my Kiwi readers, a little good news. The Spanish Helmet is now available at Whitcoulls book stores.

Even when you have another six individual readers go through with a fine-toothed-comb, there is a possibility some errors slip through.
So is the case with The Spanish Helmet. One hundred copies of the book have gone out to readers with a handful of errors that have now come to my attention. It annoys me, but ...Read more»
