There is just one person I’d like to thank.
Kerry.
For your friendship and many many happy years, because you’re there; all the time; my inspiration. My first, my last, my everything and of course, the answer to all my dreams.
(Barry White has a lot to answer for!)
Anyway, thank you for everything ‘sugar tits’.
This story should evolve, and eventually fill out, but it had to stop somewhere for now, and I hope I’ve given you enough of a happy ending.

Foreword
MY EXPERIENCE OF TRYING TO SELL A DRAFT NOVEL ON SMASHWORDS
With the first draft of airplanefixer, I was not able to publish on the Amazon Kindle, because non-US writers are unable to register for their Digital Text Platform without a US bank account. Stopped at the first hurdle. This is where SMASHWORDS comes in.
I did this as an experiment: to see if an unrevised draft / work-in-progress could both sell, if priced low enough and act as a good means for gathering feedback. What follows is my general experience
