    Madame Curie — Thanks, glad you like it!

    I’m planning to publish it through BookSurge so people will be able to buy both e-copies and physical copies. It’s almost ready to go!

    Well, all I can say is, that story is addictive. When I finally get the courage to go ex-mo, that book will be the gift I give my son, so he will know what I saved him from!!!
