Party All Over The World

Well. Despite not being able to buy The Beatle Man on Amazon in the UK at the moment, the booksellers in other parts of the world have sprung into action.

So, the people of Japan, Denmark & Estonia, I say to you, buy the book, love the book and, if you're very talented, read the book!

One Step Forward...

Two steps back. First the good news, the book cover art has turned up on the Amazon listing for the book. Which is nice.

Unfortunately, Amazon cancelled the test order I did saying they couldn't get the book and you can no longer buy it. So much for the so-called 'distribution'.

It seems remarkable that (what must be?) an entirely electronic process is so incredibly slow, clunky and beset with problems. Unless it is simply some intransigence relating to BookSurge.

Yours grumpily,

This August I Will Be Mostly...

The sharp eyed among my reader will notice a new widget on the left. "What's that all about?" you may ask. Well, let me explain.

In a weaker/intelligent/stupid/inspired* moment, I agreed to join a couple on intrepid explorers in doing this year's Sucata Run. I won't labour the details here. Check out the website and help us make (and hopefully exceed) our fundraising target of £1000.

You will be able to follow our progress up to (and hopefully during) the run at the Team General Ignorance website. There's not much there (well nothing) as I type, but I expect it to be full of mirth in the weeks to come, so please keep an eye out.

And finally Esther...

Well, well, well. After who knows how long, The Beatle Man is now listed on Amazon (albeit with a somewhat perplexing 'sourcing fee' which will hopefully go and no cover art).

Not entirely as energised by this news as I would have expected, but all things writing are likely to take a back seat for a while until I get the predicted job change out of the way.

Just back from a weekend on the Solway Coast. Very nice it was too. Although, it stayed very grey until the day to come back. As a result the photos were largely of the expected variety...





Finally, many thanks to Anna for sending me my first book review from the US. I'm very glad you liked it.
