    The book will be available on Amazon. We're hoping to have it up in time for Halloween, assuming smooth sailing with the finalization of the files. All content and layout is done, so we're in the final phase of proofing the text. And I'm updating a few images because until it's out of my hands, I will continue tinkering with it...
