As you can perhaps guess from the title of this blog I have at last thought of a title for book two

It still might change as the book grows but it is a step in the right direction.

Guardian is now available exclusively from my website.  Don’t forget if you purchase a copy from me I will be able to sign and date it.  I can add a dedication of your choice as well as long as you let me know at the time you buy the book.

Paypal lets you add a dedication to your order. If you purchase through Google then please use my contact form at the same time with the order details so I can match up the dedication with the order.  There are only 300 first edition copies printed. The second edition will have a slightly different cover so don’t leave it too long. You never know a signed first edition might be worth something on ebay one day LOL.

The official publishers Release date for Guardian is 14th June 2009.  It will then be available from bookshops and Amazon if you want to wait and purchase a copy from them.

I have now been passed to the publishers Marketing Dept. They have sent me a ‘Marketing Interview Form’ and a long list of instructions. The form looks quite daunting. The first two questions for instance;

1. The elevator Test – you have one minute/sentence to tell a top book reviewer or Mr Waterstones what your book is about. Start now, and make it good.
How on earth do you condense 76000 words into one sentence?

2. Every book should have a catch-phrase or sub-line to tell the reader  why they particularly should read it. What’s yours? (no more than 12 words)
Blimey! Another tough one!

Oh well I won’t get it done writing this so I had better get to it. If you would like to see the form yourself it is reproduced in full here
