I hope you’ll be able to take the family out to a nice dinner tonight. This is a significant accomplishment. You deserve a fatburger with lots of grease and several microbrews. I am one very proud Reporter today.
Very cool buddy. I am very happy and excited for you on your new venture. I’m sure I speak for your whole gang in your hometown, wishing you the best of luck and many, many great things in the future!!
Jeff, well done. That pretty much sums it up nicely although a picture of Nancy standing on a corner with her ski poles would been more hilarious. Well done…
Definitely go on the air w/ Joe T. Class act (don’t repeat that!) and it will expand a local following. Be as incognito as you want. Do one of those 60 Minutes terrorist interviews where they make your voice like a drunk turtle’s and give you “cloudy head.” I’ll even send you drinks at your “yuppie bar” and not even dream of approaching your table.
Thanks, folks. The Evil Twin is indeed talented as hell. The cover makes it clear that the book is probably a comedy, but doesn’t cross over into full-on zaniness. It also looks great, I think, both full-sized and as a thumbnail. I love it. I’m glad you guys do, too.
It will definitely be available at amazon.co.uk I haven’t decided on a price for the paperback, but it’ll be reasonable. I won’t be pricing it like a text book, or anything like that.
I meant the kindle copy!!! you know they are two totally separate stores yeah?? As in what’s available on Amazon.com kindle store can and does vary from the UK kindle store!!
Double-handed hair whipping? This is gonna be good! Great job, Evil Twin. And proud as hell of ya, Jeff. I know you were writing before then, but I’m proud to have been a part of your little world since the days of the early bright blue, big-fonted Surf Report!
The bunker cam picture reminds me of when I was little and having tests done at the hospital, the guy sitting across from me had on a hospital gown and was sitting with his leg crossed with one foot up on his knee, I could see EVERYTHING and didn’t know what to do. Luckily a nurse noticed my red face and quietly told the guy to put his leg down. Here I was a girl around 8 maybe? having tests done and my parents weren’t there. Funny now, but not so much then!
That looks awesome, Jeff. Congrats and I am elevating my usual subdued excitement for your success.
Also, Evil Twin, the guy who told me to give “In Through The Out Door” a second chance when I tried to return it due to dissatisfaction. Art talent is a rare thing. That envelops JK’s whole personality.
Nice cover, Jeff.

Jeff,

The cover looks great!
It’s your scene and I’m freaking out!
The next book might have to be a graphic novel. The ski poles convinced me.
Thanks, folks. The Evil Twin is indeed talented as hell. The cover makes it clear that the book is probably a comedy, but doesn’t cross over into full-on zaniness. It also looks great, I think, both full-sized and as a thumbnail. I love it. I’m glad you guys do, too.
congrats and best of luck! Hope it sells out!
So is this going to be released on amazon.co.uk at the same time as amazon.com? and what’s it going to cost? 🙂
It will definitely be available at amazon.co.uk I haven’t decided on a price for the paperback, but it’ll be reasonable. I won’t be pricing it like a text book, or anything like that.
I meant the kindle copy!!! you know they are two totally separate stores yeah?? As in what’s available on Amazon.com kindle store can and does vary from the UK kindle store!!
WOOOHOOO!!
That looks great, looking forward to my copy!
Cool. It’s weird how fast things have moved since you went the self publish route.
Nice, and thanks for the exclusive sneak peek!
Double-handed hair whipping? This is gonna be good! Great job, Evil Twin. And proud as hell of ya, Jeff. I know you were writing before then, but I’m proud to have been a part of your little world since the days of the early bright blue, big-fonted Surf Report!
Awesome….be proud of yourself, Jeff.
Perfect! How exciting.
Kinda looks like Batman at your elbows! Nice cover, I’m sure the book will be a great read.
I LOVE IT! I can’t wait to read it! I agree with Jenkem, be proud!!! 😀

Great job, guys.
Dude! The cover is great!!!!
Somewhere, up above, Jimmy Kuhn just spurted.
OMG – Jimmy Kuhn has the same initials as Jeff Kay. Coincidence, or no? 🙂
They both have the same habits.
Can you all put some pressure on the Evil Twin to design my fifth tattoo (and I swear it’ll be the last one!)?
He is very talented – and thank goodness both of our secrets inherited his gift.
If you all think the cover is great, wait ’til you read the book! 😉
Looks great! Congratulations!
I do judge a book by it’s cover, if we don’t than what is lthe point of agonizing over cover art??
This cover makes me want to pick your book up!!
Excellent job, kudos to you and Evil Twin!!
