K E Bentley

I'm a new author. I have been writing since I was 15, but only recently at the age of 30 did I decide to chase my dream. My first book is thriller and it will be released on Amazon and Kindle around May/June this year I hope.

Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

Hiya Y’all aka Kill Zone ramblings!

I am still working on my third... or is it fourth... crap lost count... draft of my book. Working title is still Kill Zone though I suspect it might get changed. 

I am blown away by all the support and sweet responses I have gotten about a book that is not even on sale yet. For that very reason I am looking into the possibility of you guys being able to preorder it from me directly. 

What does this mean?

- You wouldn’t get the book ahead of time! It is very important for me to stress this fact. Shipping takes time and it needs to get to me before it gets to you. 

- If you do this you will have to pay extra for shipping and handling. I don’t yet know how much and it will also depend on where in the world you live. 

- The only reason you should decide to do this is you are interested in getting your copy signed along with a personalized messaged from me. 

If this is something you are interested in let me know. 

You are not commiting to anything by answering yes to this post. This is simply just me trying to figure out if I should put work into trying to figure out the costs and logistics of something like this.
