Two items

In my previous post I noted that I had had contact with a new small press. For a variety of reasons, things don't appear to be progressing, so I have been re-evaluating the lulu route. The most significant change is one of cost, due to nothing more than the exchange rate - essentially, pound sterling has slipped against the US dollar, making a book published from within the UK a much more attractive proposition. Lulu.com have also changed their publishing options to some degree.
So I'm currently waiting for the first proof copy of 'The Octogenarian Ski-jumper', and hope that it will beat the postal strike. If that's fine, this book could be available publicly very soon!

The second item is that 'The Octogenarian Ski-jumper' will be featuring in the free e-day initiative. This takes place on 1 December, and details of it can be found at http://freeeday.wordpress.com/. This is an online 'carnival of independent culture', all available for free. Check it out.
