Synchronicities
It's all happening on the final run towards publication. Just today I received a postcard from the BookCrosser Angelbird72 who releases the book The Missing Reel in France. She is now IN FRANCE just as I am now tonight reading over the journal entry releasing the book in France.
I have these last few weeks also just sold all but the last four books of Tomaree clearing the decks for Crossing Paths and hoping to also catch a spot at the Sydney BookCrossing Convention in October.
Just approached Alain de Botton for a kind word about the novel (as two of his books are journalled in his pages). He said no but gave me warm wishes and the very best for publication which was nice.
And now back to the grindstone...

Chasing Authors
Well, I've definitely been slack lately with my blog but I'm back and I'm chasing authors as I once chased bookcrossers back in 2004.
I have decided to contact all the authors of the 52 books (at least all those who are still alive) to let them know that their book or books are featured in Crossing Paths. So far I have been able to contact Alain de Botton who wished me well with my book, ditto Gaby Naher and also the marvellous Elizabeth Spencer (nearly 90) who thanked me for including her book. I'm looking forward to contacting many more and will update my blog as I go.
Happy Easter everyone.
