Wonderful! Thanks, Jamie - I hope you enjoy it!

If you feel moved by the end, a short review on Goodreads or Amazon would be so appreciated.

I just finished LAMB… Gutted. Your memorial words… they broke me. Everyone - gay, parents or friends of someone gay, addicts and those that know and love an addict, anyone who loves a young person or may have a child of their own - should read this. Profound insights to the effects of a thousand little cuts on someone's soul. Sorry for my stream of consciousness message. I'm shaking… Thank you. Please push this out into the world, for the sake of those poor souls, so many of them, who may benefit. It's important. So very important. 💜

Oh, Troy, it's gorgeous!!!! And Dierdre is spot on, you need merch!! It has been so long now that I have dreamed of the day when I can sit in the garden with a physical copy of Lamb in my hands, and now, knowing what that physical copy will actually look, I am even more excited. Congratulations, my dear. It's such a joy to see this all coming together 💜

Mr. Troy Ford's avatar

Thank you so much, Chloe! I'm really happy with the way it turned out, working feverishly to get the paperback pre-order up and running (it's a bit more cumbersome than an ebook... ;) Excited to share insights with you, my dear 🩵🖤❤️

Hell yes Troy! That cover looks great! The author photo is great! The blurbs are great! And having read the story already I can attest to that being great as well!

You sharing your journey of writing this book and bringing it to life is truly inspiring brother. And I am so happy for you! Please keep us posted about pre-order paperbacks as I want a copy for my shelf! Congrats my friend :)

Mr. Troy Ford's avatar

Thank you thank you Michael!! Appreciate you, always - am furiously working on paperback pre-order, shooting for late April. I'll keep you posted. :)

Hullo and Congratulations my Substack pal! Listen, I've been trying to purchase/pre-order but the link won't let me. Have you a direct like to Amazon.co.uk by any chance? I thought I knew how to navigate Amazon. It seems not. :/ Will definitely pre-order asap.

Annette Marquis's avatar

Congratulations, Troy! You deserve such great things from this project. Enjoy the release!

Mr. Troy Ford's avatar

Thank you Annette!! I'm trying but there's still so much to do! 😂🩵
