Paperback Wriiiter....
A dream come true, Part II...
Eighteen months ago, I was approached by Ars Notoria Magazine — or at least, their publishing arm, AN Editions — with their proposal for a collection of my short stories, which I’d been publishing since turning away from publishing poetry six years ago. The idea of a book could not have been further from my mind.
Unlike the Beatles song, I don’t work for the Daily Mail. Nor are my stories about a dirty man. Well, not many of them at least…
In March this year, the hardback edition of that book, Captcha This!, was launched in North London and sold two print runs in hardback, as well as attracting favourable notices from some writers and cultural figures I have great admiration for, such as Julian Stannard, P.W. Bridgman, and James Melville, the founder of “No Farmers, No Food”.
Six months on, and I’m thrilled to say the paperback is here — it includes an interview with me conducted by Peter Cowlam, an amazing Writer and Editor based in England. The book’s available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other online stores. You can also get it for 25% off from my website — £12.50 including post and packing anywhere in the world — and I’ll sign and dedicate any web orders as requested. You can find out more and order copies direct from the store on my website.
