There is so little to report it is a little embarrassing to even consider a blog post but I feel I owe my reader some output.
So, you’ll have to put up with a crappy clip show of a post (and a really spammy title, just as an experiment).
Book Stuff
Bit of a distribution delay; apparently the text on the title page was too near the edge. So much for buying a copy, seeing it was fine and approving it. I could scream ‘racket’ but I won’t. I’ll believe that this was a safe precaution to avoid issues at the distribution printer. But having to get another pointless proof? Well…
I’ve dipped my toe into some Google Ads in advance of distribution. Quite good fun, quite enlightening. I’ll do more when things are ready to rock on Amazon.
Set up a Facebook page for the book. Go now, become a fan! I’ve got a design for a Facebook Ad ready to go too.
I’ve also integrated a PayPal cart into The Beatle Man website for buying signed copies. Two sales so far, thanks guys! **
Photo Stuff
A lovely weekend on Islay didn’t yield too many photo ops due to some dodgy old weather, but was quite pleased with what I did get. You should all go to Islay, its fab. Many thanks to A&M.

I finally got round to trying my new black backcloth too. It went quite well for a first time. Here’s a new portrait for you all to hurl abuse at (if you haven’t already on Facebook).
Nice picture of Kilchoman Beach you’ve got there. Looks like that old wreck is “reappearing”. Last time I went it had almost disappeared under the sand and you could barely see it.
#342 of WDG’s clumsy and offensive outbursts…….
Do you realise how much like Paul Murphy you look in that evocative monochrome mugshot ?
