FYI ...

For those who care or are interested, book related info is behind the cut. Everyone else, feel free to ignore.

Some of you might be aware I've gone and written a book - and yes, of course it's about Alexander the Great. Release date is fast approaching (trust me, when you're faced with the threat of last minute rewrites, it is VERY fast approaching) and I can now give you some information on the whole what, where and when thing.

The title of the book is The Lion's Cub by L Speight (that's me) and it is published by HarperCollins NZ and HarperCollins Australia. Availability in the northern hemisphere is an unknown at this point, but given that in this current internet savvy era you can buy almost anything from almost anywhere, anyone who actually wants a copy will find a way. Release date is set for 11/8/06, all going to plan, and there is an ISBN but I can't be bothered finding the paperwork for that right now so let's just let that slide for now, okay?

Right, enough trumpet-blowing from me. Catch you later.

This is actually very exciting. You can be nonchalant all you want, but I don't believe you. I get an autographed copy, right? And a drunken read through with good champagne?

I am not being nonchalent. Any calm you sense is totally fake. I am quietly freaking out on the inside.

No, seriously. And the champagne thing definately sounds like a good call.

Or, you know, we could just skip to the alcohol right now.

Please?

Sounds promising. I'll check my roster.
