APPEARANCE
Men in general judge more from appearances than from reality. All men have eyes but few have the gift of penetration.
-Machiavelli
The shortest and surest way to live with honour in the world is to be in reality what we would appear to be.
-Socrates
COMMANDMENTS
Doing good to all.
Speaking evil of none.
Hearing before judging.
Thinking before speaking.
Holding an angry tongue.
Being kind to the distressed.
Asking pardon for all wrongs.
Being patient toward everybody.
Stopping the ears to a talebearer.
disbelieving most of the ill reports.
- Be honest with yourself and tell the truth.
- James A. Farley

Due to a glitch in amazon.uk's system, I believe I’ve written the only crime thriller in the UK that doesn't appear on amazon.co.uk. My publisher's many other titles are listed – including Robert B Parker - and my book can be ordered from all other uk online suppliers, as well as amazon sites around the world. Amazon.uk refuse to acknowledge their technical error and insist my book’s displayed on their website when it isn’t.
I'm an insignificant individual, powerless to influence this huge corporation, but their indifference has incensed me. I'm attempting to battle amazon.uk's virtual monopoly of the uk online book market by asking readers around the world to order my inexpensive paperback through other online suppliers or from local bookstores.
If you would be kind enough to consider supporting my campaign against a faceless corporation, please check out my blog for details of Cut Short by Leigh Russell.
