The book is officially released and available to purchase both here and on amazon or by sending check or money order to PO Box 3897, St. Charles, IL 60174. In the coming weeks we hope to see reviews surfacing by many fine publications and writers. Press packets and all of the preorders were mailed yesterday along with a copy of Orange Pulp and specially created mix cd.
