Default I done a book.

No, seriously.

http://lovestarpublications.bigcarte...ble-television

So even though I don't post here anymore I'm still shamelessly plugging it. I'm basically running a cottage industry from my bedroom of self publishing and handling the distribution myself for chump change whilst the ultimate end goal of shopping it to literary agents for wider publishing distribution remains intact.

I'd describe it as a cross breed of Irvine Welsh, Douglas Coupland and tuna sandwiches.

Anyway yeah. Check it out if you want. It's on Amazon too but my site is cooler. The missus done the cover art.

Cheers.

The book sounds great, and I don't doubt how well-written it is based on reading your posts over the years. When I eventually get paid, I'll buy a copy.

Well done.

What an achievement I love the Eurovision style title!

I'm in the process of planning my book, well I say planning, it's just coming up with ideas in my head. Probably won't be released until 2025

An old Catholic mental asylum that's mentioned in the book went up in flames across the river last night so I'm claiming it as a marketing ploy.

Shame that was a cool building, same happened with the Good Shepards too a while back. They're thinking both were deliberate

Prime real estate land, innit? I live on Victoria Cross so the Lee Fields was like a festival last night with all these cars parked and people going down to have a look at a big fire.

Load of ghosts in that building. Sad place.

Thank you so much.

TiBBers getting personalised autographed copies. And still eligible for current free shipping offer. It's a steal.

I know, sorry. Amazon is horrendous in Ireland because we aren't eligible for most of the free shipping deals on books.

It still costs me 8 skrilla to send a copy out with it's weight, you mind. This free shipping thing is a total marketing ploy. I'll have to kill it next week.
