A search for Chris Odgers should bring up the items in question. There is only one copy of each illustration available and they are mighty fine works of art which are destined to be both very collectable and valuable. Happy hunting and good luck. 2009-8-16T00:00:00Z http://www.strathcarnage.com/page8.htm#45960 Id like to begin by saying thank you. Thank you for reading this thank you for buying the book thank you for emailling with enquiries and to place orders and above all thank you for all your good wishes kind words and patience. As youll know the book has now been released into the wild free to roam and nuzzle contendedly around the legs of readers sitting by firesides spread far and wide. Get the children indoors darkness is falling..... The Special Limited Slipcased edition shall be here very shortly also after a slight delay. I was trying to perfect a design and a finish on the slipcase that was slightly more work than I had assumed and with the help of Chris weve managed to nail it just like we both had hoped. I hope the short delay was well worth the wait. Having now seen the results I really think it was best to get it perfect than just settle for something easier but less impressive. So thanks for the patience those who ordered. And thanks for the supportive emails tellin... 2009-7-31T00:00:00Z http://www.strathcarnage.com/page8.htm#44680 Just heard from Matador who have spoken to the printers and the book should be with us all on the 22nd July. Barring further delays. Fingers crossed there then. Sorry to everyone for the delay but this final little bit has really been out of my hands. Ill take the blame for the content design and numerous other things but with this little glitch Im in the hands of the gods. I was in the lap of the gods to begin with but it was getting a little uncomfortable. Thanks for the patience and goodwill shown by all and to all those who have ordered so far. Book is going fast. Many thanks to each and every one of you. More news as I get it. 2009-7-10T00:00:00Z http://www.strathcarnage.com/page8.htm#44117 If you recall and unless youve experienced a massive blow to the cranium Im presuming you will because it was only a few days ago I said With a healthy dose of luck and a following wind the previously announced release date should still stand... Well the rabbit foot has lost its mojo and the wind seems to have dropped. Owing to the printer being overcome with eh printing and a few preproduction delays with finalising proofs and final artwork the book release date has been put back a couple of weeks. I know I know I can hear the massive sighs of disappointment echo through the land but its better everything is done correctly than rushing something which will later cause me to cry myself to sleep at night. So apologies. And as soon as I get the revised date for final printing and delivery I shall be on here passing the details on. Thanks for listening and sorry for the delay. 2009-6-30T00:00:00Z http://www.strathcarnage.com/page8.htm#44024 Greetings readers friends neighbours relations any onlooking DHSS investigators and anyone not represented by the previous list. This is my first blog and all I ask is you are gentle with me. Well after a number of years clinging on with white knuckles to the swooping rollercoaster that is writing my first novel at last it has been dispatched to the printers. No more poring over words worrying about overwriting planning plot arcs checking all the names match checking and double checking events happen in a consistant order editing all the aforementioned reediting it gathering funds designing a cover proof reading proof reading corrected proof reads describing and okaying fantastic illustrations and all the while worrying about the reaction of relatives to the somewhat risque sections of the book. No more. For I am done. Now somewhere off in the distance a black metal printing press is clanking and steaming as pages waterfall from its gaping maw to be gathered together and bound ins... 2009-6-28T00:00:00Z
