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...

I'm really torn now. I'd like a copy, and not just because I know you, but because it actually does look interesting too! But on the other hand, even £35 is a lot of money to someone who's been unemployed for months and is now in tenuous employment that may or may not last...
Ah, but wait, 1st December? I can ask for it as a Christmas present! Certain people have been asking what I want ... I think we have a plan.
Btw, if you don't mind my asking, what does the "J" stand for? Apologies if I already knew and am suffering from my usual uselessness with names.
