Thank you all for your support and kind words.
Humayun - Yeah, I'm still up for it...might have to wait-out till we get some more players. We'll see.
AlexN - If you are keen, I can direct you to the cheapest supplier. Will organise a signed copy if you do (just in case it goes somewhere. Strange things can happen).
Omaroo - Yeah, I agree. It'll be out there a few weeks before the launch so I'll get to hear a few things on the night. Yes, wait for the Kindle option...I have just bought one and I'm sold on the concept.
Steven - great to here that you're getting there...just be mindful that it's been through the mill 3-4 more times since then.
DavidU - Cheers mate.
Mike - Yeah, I originally planned it to be ready for mid year so that I had plenty of time for Christmas, but it just didn't happen that way. I placed so much emphasis on making sure I conformed to what 'according to the experts' makes a good book (zero syntax errors, no grammatical or transposed words, a read between 250-350 pages, no pulling punches etc. The content actually comes in about 20th place) that the time-line just blew-out wildly. In the end I just gave up and said when it's done-it's done.
AN INVITATION
For those who live in or around Perth, or are visiting in late January, feel free to PM me for an invite to the launch. It's in the QV1 building (CBD) on Fri 29th. Howard Park and Madfish wines are sponsoring the event, and Sayers (Upmarket cafe) are catering so the food and drink will be worth the effort.
The gig is totally free!! So, if you're up to a nice night - unlike me who'll be sober and working - I hope that you make contact and come along. We're looking at between 200-300 people.
