Philip Whiteland - the man behind Josiah and Archibald (which makes it sound like we're in a queue!)
Well it is a nice cover picture but that was the first thing I thought when i looked at it.
Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "Well it is a nice cover picture but that was the first thing I thought when i looked at it."That's a fair point, GL. Thanks for the feedback.
I've decided to make a virtue out of necessity and base the Introduction of the book on my inability to provide relevant covers ;-)www.philwhiteland.blogspot.com
Nope, sorry, after all this time I still read this as Philip Whiteland's Thong
Rosemary wrote: "Nope, sorry, after all this time I still read this as Philip Whiteland's Thong"You wouldn't want to see that, Rosemary. It's not as good as it was, in fact, (ahem) thongs aren't what they used to be.
This is becoming the 'A Game of Thongs thread.
Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "This is becoming the 'A Game of Thongs thread."The thong has gone but the memory lingers on ;-)
I'm confidently expecting to be appointed as Poet Laureate any time soon:http://philwhiteland.blogspot.co.uk/2...
Who is Pete Lariat?
Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "Who is Pete Lariat?"Could be a character in Jambalaya couldn't he ;-)
Oh yeah - he'd fit light in there!
Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "Oh yeah - he'd fit light in there!"A light-fitter eh? Now that's a character I hadn't thought of before.
Make sure he's not too light or he'll float right out of the story. You want someone who can pull their weight as a character.
Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "Make sure he's not too light or he'll float right out of the story. You want someone who can pull their weight as a character."Ah yes, a heavy cowboy light-fitter who spends his time pulling his weight (they can't touch you for it, apparently)
Sounds like he needs a story of his own. And maybe a light-skirt of a girlfriend.
Thanks, but I hate seeing bits of a book before I read it, so I'll pass this time.

I can now confirm that the third book in the 'nostalgedy' series, 'A Kick at the Pantry Door', will be published via Kindle on Tuesday, 1st July, 2013. Just putting the finishing touches to it at the moment!
Gingerlily (The One and Only) wrote: "Ohhhh goody!"Thanks. Well, fancy meeting you here,GL!
Hi Philip. Are you going to make it to the next group meet-up?
Gingerlily (The One and Only) wrote: "Hi Philip. Are you going to make it to the next group meet-up?"I'm afraid that work, and grandson minding, during the week mean that I usually collapse into an antisocial heap in a darkened room at the weekend. There's a local author group in Burton that I hardly ever make it to and that's only 15 miles away!
Ok, how about if the next one is at yours?
Gingerlily (The One and Only) wrote: "Ok, how about if the next one is at yours?"There's only so much space in a darkened room, GL, and I take up most of it ;-)

Anyone else have any memories of their first driving lesson they would like to share?
Not really, as the instructor wanted me to wear a short skirt.
Gingerlily (The One and Only) wrote: "Not really, as the instructor wanted me to wear a short skirt."Ah yes, I see. I didn't quite have that issue.
Well it would have been even more worrying if he had wanted you to wear a short skirt!
Gingerlily (The One and Only) wrote: "Well it would have been even more worrying if he had wanted you to wear a short skirt!"Yes, that's true. I guess we have to be thankful for small mercies :-)

The next book in the 'nostalgedy' series will be published on MONDAY 1st July, not Tuesday. Sorry!
The first two compilations have just received a couple of nice reviews:http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R4DZ7Z...

Thirty days hath September... all the rest I can't remember!
Ignite wrote: "Thirty days hath September... all the rest I can't remember!"That's as good a rhyme as any ;-)
And yet another one! I won't be able to get my head through a doorway at this rate ;-)http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/RO9IEK...
From time to time, usually when I'm bored, I tend to offer
for FREE in an effort to give me something to watch on the sales stats, and hopefully generate the odd positive review. Tomorrow and Thursday are such times, so if you fancy something really silly for your holiday reading...
For those planning their summer holiday, here's how not to start a cruise:http://philwhiteland.blogspot.co.uk/2...
As you'll see, I've dumped my 'thing' for a welcoming 'home' instead ;-)
Gingerlily - Goodbye, and thanks for all the fish. wrote: "Was it painful?"It brought tears to my eyes - mind you, I can't think where else it could have brought them.
Um, no, I can't either!
Depending on pronunciation you can get tears in your trousers.
Ignite wrote: "Depending on pronunciation you can get tears in your trousers."As I have done many times. You get them on wedding cakes as well, for many reasons.
Ignite wrote: "Tears at bedtime. :)"Leading to tears on my pillow (altogether now...)
