If you&#8217;d like to ask your local bookseller or library to order it in, the ISBN of the paperback is 9780994197047, and it&#8217;s available through Ingram Spark. If you live in regional Queensland or Darwin you&#8217;re in luck &#8211; it&#8217;s already available in many libraries there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you live in Australia, you can also order a signed paperback from me &#8211; see the Buy Books page for details. Unfortunately, international postage is prohibitively expensive, so I can&#8217;t send signed copies overseas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve uploaded a PDF preview of the first two chapters &#8211; click on the download link below. Readers who prefer ebooks should be able to download a sample from their preferred ebook seller, but I know that many readers prefer print.
