What's that I hear you say? What is the latest on the book?

Well, I have just returned from a trip to England and while I was there I got to meet up with the publisher. And a very productive meet it was to. They offered some useful tips, no not rewriting the whole bloody thing, but to provide a thread running the seemingly disparate chapters.

This is why I am happy to work with these guys. As a writer it is easy to get so immersed in your work you need an outsider to take a look and offer some neutral feedback and that is what happened. The easiest thing in the world is to go off and get thing self published willy nilly but I don't want to write just one book. I have a whole series planned; get the first one wrong and that will be the end of the line.

So, starting next week, I will be revisiting the work to try and link the whole piece into one and in the finest literary traditions I will be starting in a hotel room near a bar!

What is that I hear you say? Who am I working with? None other than Ockley Books and In Bed With Maradona.

Not only am I excited about the book, I am also genuinely excited about working with these guys to get the book done as professionally as possible. As Wham once sang, yeah I know, sorry, 'if you're gonna do, do it right'!
