An email just landed in my inbox. The gone hunting book has an ETA in Sydney where half of them are destined to hit the dock, whilst the other half are on their way 'across the ditch' to New Zealand.
So proud of the achievement as the production of this book has been a complete DIY job. Those wanting a printed version will be able to buy direct from my ecommerce site which is under construction and will be up and live around the 20th June 2016.
Ebook versions are up on Amazon and iBooks in pre-launch mode.
Audio book technical guys will be looking at my files on Wednesday.
The cost of the printed version will be $25 Aussie and that includes postage and handling to anywhere in the world....

Went to downtown Sydney yesterday and meet with the guys from Silvertrak and went through all the smoke and mirrors to convert my files into an audio CD. Great bunch and I left with 7 hours of audio recordings on one disc to do a final proof. MP3 Audio Book.
Artwork looks stunning and just have to do a few mods and its all systems go.....
Will only be available from my ecommerce website www.gonehunting.me which will be alive within the next two weeks.
Daniel Burke Publisher from Wild Deer & Hunting Magzine has ordered 500 to give to resubscribers. Thats a great order to kick-off the program.

To those who don't understand our downunder lingo... across the ditch is to New Zealand. Half of the production run has landed in Sydney and I am waiting for custom clearance. The other half are about to arrive in Auckland at the back end of next week. Lots of Kiwis have registered to get a signed copy so in order to make sure they do I have booked a flight across the ditch to do a heap of signing... plus an opportunity to do a bit of snapper fishing whilst checking out the distribution network.
Yes, it will be another do it yourself aspect to the gone hunting out there 'do'in it' book because we are also taking care of distribution.
The clock is ticking down to the launch... 20 June here we come...

Tipping the Tikka T3 Lite upside down the water drains out, leaning it against a tree, that is where it will stay tonight...

Go and find out... visit www.gonehunting.me or visit iTunes and search Gerard Abrams or gone hunting.

Enjoy.....

The gone hunting Facebook page is a great place to checkout what I've been up to in the mountains. The lastest youtube video has gone up. The podcast series is a once a month gig and I'm enjoying doing the recording when I'm holed-up in my tent.

Book two is coming along and whilst I'd love it to be quicker, it will take what it takes. Chapters one - five are nailed, then I had to do the backend of the book and now it's game on for chapter six. Seven, eight and nine are planned. Just gotta write them! The design work of book two is a challenge because the epilogue required that I work some of the structure from the rear. Designing a book that incorporates colour pictures and different paper types is a challenge to make it work economically. There are a number of variables... weight of end product and size because it has to be posted at the right rate otherwise postage costs are greater then the price of the book. Just all part of doing it yourself.

Thanks to all the people who have sent emails and reviews. The website has over 6,000 words dedicated to this alone.

Lastly, thanks again to Daniel Burke and the team at Wild Deer and Hunting Adventures magazine for publishing my hunting articles to help with the fan base.
