In conjunction with the book launch of ‘Little White Lies’ tomorrow (see the post below for details), I am pleased to announce that the book is now available for purchase! There is a discount set until 31st May so please tell your friends, your aunties, the lady next to you in the queue for coffee…
Go here to purchase or just to have a nose (right-click to open link in a new window)
Please join me! Live performance, both to tracks and live musicians, plus the usual banter and bluster.
So, I’ve finally reached the finishing line. I set out to make this book so much more than the last – both with quantity and personalised touches – and I became quite determined not to cut any corners… to the point where I drove myself quite dotty editing, proofreading and redrawing illustrations that I wasn’t 100% happy with.
Much of it was written in Coffee Republic (they make a wonderful cappuccino) and they always cheered me up when I was flagging, so I was THRILLED when they offered me the upstairs to launch the book. It’ll be like home away from home. Honestly, I spend so much time there that even the Google Earth car captured me sitting by the window with my notepad and mug! I just need some people there to help me send the book on its way… please come!
If not, I shall see you at the Festival with my mini-amp and my bowler hat.
(Details of how to purchase the book online, very soon)

All done. The proof copies are apparently winging their way over my way right now and I am completely anticipatious and trembley-like. Watch this space. Keep everything crossed. Despite last-minute hiccups of having to reset all the illustrations, reconfigure the Table of Contents and finding (gasp!) an ‘it’s’ that should have been ‘its’ in the last 24 hours before it went to print, I’m still pretty much bang on schedule. I’m hoping it’s going to be the best one yet. Watch out for much whooping and over excitement before the end of the week!
to finishing the book. I’m trying to concentrate, keep my head down and get it done for my self-imposed deadline. But one more illustration to share… the rest will have to be a surprise. Back soon, I promise!
The following advertisement appears in Wulfstan’s Literary Tumbles, along with a commentary by Kiersty Boon on the TS Eliot prize and the funding of the poetry world.
As previously, the magazine is noted as being in memory of Paul Squires gingatao.com, who was an ardent supporter and friend to many of the contributors.

I’m horribly busy, just trying to keep up and whacking these on here so you don’t think I’m slacking. Will catch up with you all properly soon, I promise, xx
Just a quick notice about tomorrow night when I’ll be performing… come along if you can! I’ll be taking my valentine postcards down if anyone wants a cheap (ie. free) card that makes a point

So none of them are supposed to be taken too seriously (I am perfectly aware they are just doodles with oodles of just making my point) but sheesh, I am never going to attempt to replicate a JD bottle again. For JD connoisseurs everywhere I apologise for the artistic licence I have allowed myself in recreating it, haha. 
They’re storming along now… will be sticking to pen and ink this time as opposed to the photography and fine art stuff I used in addition last time. Probably. Maybe. 
For some reason they look a bit blurry on the main post but if you click on the image it sharpens up.
