Modestly introducing Tallis Steelyard (Now nominated!)
that is a form of 'music' that has passed me by entirely

Don't the cows and sheep appreciate music?
Gingerlily - Mistress Lantern wrote: "Don't the cows and sheep appreciate music?"Cattle apparently do
but they appreciate music, not weird random noises which sound like a machine is dying in pain
More moosick then?
Gingerlily - Mistress Lantern wrote: "More moosick then?"that stuff falls definitively into the moosick category!
It sure wasn't composed by Moozart!
Uh-oh, Tallis is at it again!
Just bought the first T.S., Jim. I'm usually behind everyone else - except if there's cake on offer.

Yes - '49 was a good year for cake.

Wedding cake and christmas cake have been known to last quite a while...(cake bit starts at 7:53)

I'm just hoping 2016 was a good year for that choccie cake, Jim, it looks delicious but will it be stale by now? Would someone please bake another one? Isn't it strange the way you bring out a new book and someone goes and buys the old one? Hope I'm not the only one who does this sort of thing.

No you're not the only one :-)
In theory when you launch a new book people should go to your amazon page, look in awed wonder at the marvels suddenly revealed to them and frantically buy everything they can
More likely is that they look and decide they're tempted and buy something to try.
It doesn't really matter whether you buy the new one or another, because either way you're trying the books and if you like them then obviously at some point you'll come back for more.
If you don't like them, well personal taste is by definition personal. There are fine authors with millions of happy readers but I don't like their books.
At least with the Tallis Steelyard books you can quite literally read them in any order :-)
Oh yes, and I'm sure somebody could get you a new cake, Gingerlily is the obvious choice for virtual culinary delights
If its delights you are looking for, don't watch those two videos I linked a few posts up. On the other hand, I got a notification earlier for this video.

if you like carrot cake it may be of interest.
Carrot cake comes a close second to chocolate cake.Jim, I nearly bought the one with the pic of the ship on the front - it is almost identical to one of my covers! Good taste, eh?

Yay, my Tallis fix!
Tallis does seem to be a drama magnet.

Well there isn't much poeting in a quiet peaceful life. How many odes can you write about contented cows?
And that wasn't a challenge!
Gingerlily - Mistress Lantern wrote: "And that wasn't a challenge!"awwwh

I could make it one if you really want ;)
I can probably manage without it. Been travelling a bit this last week so have some catching up to do :-)
Maybe save it for a slow time.
With Tallis there are few slow times, now with tales about tales of pedagogy and sea faring!https://tallissteelyard.wordpress.com...
My admiration for Tallis is reaching new heights!
