I would rather write three sentences I trust than three pages I don't. Books that took twelve years to write deserve readers who will give them an evening at a time.

Everyone who works on this site is someone I know by name. The printer, the typesetter, the audio engineer, the studio in Thessaloniki that built the site. There are no agencies in this chain.

The Reader's Circle list is never sold, lent, analysed, or shared with a publisher. The letter is printed and posted, and that is the entire system.

There are no banners on this site. There is no countdown. There is no "best-selling". The book sells what it sells; the rest of the time we work on the next one.
