(I just checked the sample out - a really good prologue to hook the reader.

Personally I prefer indented paragraphs to spaces between paragraphs and no indents, but you are pleasantly consistent. The other typography is good - quotes, dashes, italics, chapter headings.)
Thanks! I still can't believe it. I half-expect someone to jump out and yell, “Gotcha!”

And thank you, too, for the feedback on the formatting. When I first uploaded Thin Blood to Amazon, it was formatted as it is now. I then had second thoughts and uploaded a version with indented paragraphs, posting an apology to anyone who’d bought the block formatted version, offering to replace it with the indented one. I had a flurry of emails to saying that the block formatting worked well. A few said it didn’t bother them either way. Anyway, I ended up re-uploading the original version. It’s hard to know what to do. I checked a pile of samples on Kindle for PC and they differ so much.

For any MR members who bought Thin Blood on Kindle and prefer the indented paragraph format, please PM or email me. I’m be more than happy to send you a replacement copy.
