They look amazing Stu xx

[Stuart]

Thanks Em! x

[Patti (baconater)]

freaking gorgeous

[Stuart]

Thank you Patti. The covers are quite good too aren't they?!

Do any of you clever people know how I can add the new covers to the Goodreads pages?

[Patti (baconater)]

Yep.

Ask Emma to sort it for you.

[Debbie]

Hey Stu,

If you still need a hand getting the (awesome) new covers up I'm happy to do it for you - if so, just send them to me in a message / point me to where they are online.

Deb

[Stuart]

Thank you!

Are you able to take them from the Facebook page?

Stu

[Patti (baconater)]

Hey you!

How was Tollesfest?

[Stuart]

Still getting over it! Didn't go into work today. I guess I still haven't fully recovered from Bruce Springsteen! Ended up not breathing too good Saturday night and had to get treatment fairly urgently. Been given a course of steroids and told to slow down a bit. Apparently it was a culmination of hayfever, asthma, insomnia, exhaustion and, shall we say, waywardness...

[Patti (baconater)]

Oh criminy Stu!

I'm glad you're okay!

That wasn't the answer I was expecting!

Be gentle with yourself. Sheesh

[Stuart]

Cheers. Time to embrace the other areas of buddhaworld such as looking after myself a little better I guess! Still,it's given me a chance to get on with The Buddhas of Borneo. Almost 10,000 words done now.

Stu"

Yep, no worries, so long as they're of a quality you're happy with! Glad you're feeling better too! (or better enough to get writing time - that's always good)

[Stuart]

Thanks Deb!

Yep - every cloud. I think right now is about the first time in so long I have been able to sit in peace in my little Tollesbury house and write. It's a real pleasure of life!

[Debbie]

Indeed! Please for you and a teeny tiny bit jealous too! :)

So...clues as to where in the land of Facebook I can find these covers?

[Stuart]

Ah they're on my Facebook fan page -

Tollesbury Time Forever - https://www.facebook.com/permalink.ph...

The Bird That Nobody Sees - https://www.facebook.com/permalink.ph...

[Debbie]

Interestingly, it wouldn't display the page from the search, even though I knew I'd seen them on my newsfeed. Ah well. I've changed them, so should hopefully should show up soon!

[Stuart]

Thank you!!!

[Debbie]

No worries. :)

[Stuart]

It worked! Hurrah!

[Patti (baconater)]

Yay!

[Debbie]

(also) Yay!

[Stuart]

The FRUGALITY Trilogy covers are now complete! If someone could sort out the I Woke Up This Morning one for here, that would be great!!

[Emma]

Aw! I went to be helpful and someone has got there before me xx

[Stuart]

I know! Thanks anyway! And thanks to the mystery cover doer!

[Debbie]

;)

[Stuart]

Cheers Deb!

[Debbie]

No worries - that's what I meant on FB, incidentally. They really are great covers. Incredible depth to them. And I'm looking forward to getting on with reading I Woke Up This Morning, now that I've finished marking essays until September!

[Stuart]

Cheers! Hoping to sort out paperback covers over the next week or so too!

[Stuart]

[David]

Well done Stu. I've cast my vote, you look to be romping it early doors!

But as John Sill said...

[Stuart]

cheers David! Even though JS is now manager of Luton Town I still abide by his motto!

[David]

haha! I had a good chuckle at your comment on Kuf with that quote. There was something else I meant to ask you about too. Another comment I can't quite recall but it was hilarious!

[Stuart]

full of 'em me! When you drink where I drink and support a team like Dagenham & Redbridge you can't help but encounter comedy of the highest order!

[David]

Haha! It was something to do with Euro 96. I wish I could find it again.

[Stuart]

Well here it is - my review of Bruce Springsteen Live in Coventry 20th June 2013...

[Debbie]

I'm not a fan, I must confess (and apologise also, but the one-armed drummer reference in Book 3 wasn't lost on me, so it's not all bad - keep on rolling!), but thoroughly enjoyed your review. Looks / Sounds like you had an incredible night.

[David]

"Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby edgy and dull
and cut a six inch valley through the middle of my soul."

Bruce IS the rolling in the rock.

[Stuart]

cheers Deb! You'd be converted if you saw him live! Or if you sat over the Tollesbury fields and listened to the Darkness on the Edge of Town album with your eyes closed throughout sipping on cheap wine out of a plastic pint glass. (one of the finest afternoons of my weird life) The choice is yours!

Well said mate!

"The poets round here don't write nothing no more - they just stand back and let it all be."

That's the line that keeps me writing!

Oh, now that sounds fun!

[Stuart]

Believe me it is! And don't think I'm the only one to be found round this way drinking out of plastic, eyes closed and prostrate under the tollesbury skies!

[Debbie]

LOL - it's that dodgy 3 for a tenner offer that' to blame!

[Stuart]

to thank!

[Stuart]

Working on the ebook and paperback versions of The FRUGALITY Trilogy (all books in one volume). The cover is done (by the wonderful Katie W Stewart!) and the book itself is coming out at about 828 pages at the moment. Now that's not bad!

[Debbie]

That's MASSIVE!

[Stuart]

that's what the wife says!

[Kath]

Hehe! Oh you are naughty! But I like you, ;)

[Stuart]

:-)

[Debbie]

Oh dear! ;)

[Stuart]

I have just finished writing the first draft of a 30,000 word novella called The Buddhas of Borneo. Hurrah! Hope to have it ready for a November release!
