Thanks, Mr. Lamb. I am halfway through the first "sample" chapter. I love your writing style and your voice. I hope you have written a lot more books because I'm looking forward to reading/hearing them after I finish this one.

Hello Kai. This is a problem coming from the app you used to download the files. Try downloading (or downloading again) directly from Podiobooks.
