We are working on having it published both as an e-book (paperback edition) and online, but need "expressions of interest" to guage its potential either way. Which version would you prefer (if any)? At this stage I cannot give you costs of either format, but rest assured you won't be committing yourself to buy a copy either way. Please respond either way A.S.A.P. if you are at all interested. Thank you.

A 'Springy' September!
Anyone who calls me 'anti-social' might think twice after looking at what I have left behind on my September calendar. For example, I attended a wedding, a baptism service, went out to dinner on three occasions and visited the Chinese Gardens, some of which I did in the company of a lady I met online from Warrnambool who stayed with me for 12 days... plus I acquired a bedhead and bought a new High Density Digital TV!
You want more details? OK, feel free to ask me anything you like on my email at coljames@bigpond.com.au. I also visited a dermatologist for a biopsy on my right ear (this one 'ere on my right) and had a cat-scan on my face in preparation for plastic surgery - nah, only jokin'. No amount of plastic surgery would improve my ugly fizz-gig (face).
Suffice to say that I still feel unfulfilled and lonesome, so I am going to have to lift my game even higher in October in an attempt to re-fuel my life into the burning cauldron of activity it once was (don't ask me what that means - I don't know either!).
Oh yes, one other thing achieved in September was the final draft of my autobiography, together with selection of photographs for same. Hopefully, within the next couple of months, I will be able to advise anyone who may be interested how they can get a copy... all being well it should escape online, as well as by e-book and paperback. Please let me know if you wish for more information.
Provided I am not too deep in my boiling cauldron, watch for more riveting material on this blog later in October/early November.
