"Suffer For This" has been up on Amazon for ages, and we've basically pretended it wasn't there. It's better for both authors and publishers to order books from the publisher, if possible. But ... there are some holidays that involve gift-giving coming up, so if you need it quick, happy holidays! 😎

The global average sea level has been rising around 3.3 mm per yr since the early 1990s and that rate is accelerating. Groundwater depletion, sediment & fill compaction, add subsidence to the equation. Add in major Atlantic storms and you have a sinking coastline
