Book? What book?
Is it just me or does everyone hope a lot of Christmas shopping is still to be done?
My book, imaginatively titled Is it just me is rolling off the presses as I write…
We drove to Caloundra last night and collected the first hundred books from the binder Carl Stockel…it was very exciting…if a little nerve wracking.
I have to be honest. I've learnt a lot from my first foray into the publishing world, and the book is not perfect.
But I'm really proud of the words. I love the stories in the book.
It’s got everything really, (you can check out the cover to the right…) it’s a collection of columns I wrote for the Sunshine Coast Daily between 1998 and 2006, so you know the drill, witty, incisive…humble. But something you didn’t get in the daily, is really bad photos of my family through the years.
My brothers and sisters don’t know it yet but just for a laugh I whacked in the obligatory studio shots Mum had done in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s (well, late 80’s actually). I figured I could because I look the worst in the them all (although my little brother Harry looks a bit wrong in a couple too…sorry Haz!)
Anyway, wish me luck.
