That's alright Joe, we'll take your ashes along to the signing and spread a few on the first page for you.

We are in the UK Marcel, we love 'Red Tape' and 'Officialdom', that's what slows us down and we do everything at a Snails Pace... :D

Well, The good news is the publisher has paid me the £500 advance for the book, But the publishing company has been taken over and the publication date for my book has been put back to 2017.
To top it off Annie my 8 year old Grandaughter has had a short story accepted for publication, It goes to print on 31st August this year.
-Upstaged by an 8 year old- :oops:

Nick, Maybe Annie can give you her influence at the publicer and publish the book there so that we will have it in hands before the Matchbox 100th anniversary ?
