OMG - book!

So I get back from a rather wearisome training morning, and what do I find in my pigeon-hole?

This:

(Also available here and here, but Blackwell's have the best picture.)


My copy is an advance - it actually becomes available to the general public from 1st December onwards. But, fundamentally, I am now a real, live published author. Wow!

NO-ONE need feel obliged to buy this just because they know me. But if you're interested I can a) give you a bit more of an idea of what's in it than the web-sites do, so that you can decide whether you'd like to buy it or not, and b) order it on your behalf at a 30% discount (i.e. £35 rather than £50).

In the meantime, please excuse me while I go and spend the rest of the day on an excited high...

Wow! That's PD cool! :)

But, I really do think you are missing a trick by being polite and suggesting no-one should feel obliged to buy your book. I would personally have suggested people must buy it else you'll blackmail them with photos made up using Photoshop.

I'll have a beer or two for you to celebrate. Hurrah!
