I'm writing from Australia - that lump of a continent down at the bottom right of t he map. Well, lots of us love your books here, but slightly cheesed( sorry, shouldn't s a y cheesed) off by being ignored. In this newsletter there was an option to click for either UK or US, no mention of Australia ( we do have our own Amazon) or Canada ( they also have Canadian Amazon. Also you're always saying things are on offer for 99p or 99c
Yes, gobsmackingly is the adverb from the active verb 'to gobsmack', passive 'to be gobsmacked'. The action nouns are 'gobsmackitivity' or 'gobsmakingness'. The perpetrator, the one giving the gobsmack is a 'gobsmacker', the person receiving the 'gobsmackitivity' is the 'gobsmackee'. The adjective is just the past tense 'gobsmacked'. Of course, Jodi, all excellent authors must invent a word. For example 'darkling' by your favourite poet Thomas Hardy!!, or so our 'A' Level English teacher told us.
