The finishing line

A message from Del


Hi all,

Thanks again for the continued support. Your encouragement really gives me strength to keep fighting this disease.

Today, August 25th 2009, is six months since we started the book and is also our deadline to have the first complete draft written.

The good news is we have managed to meet our deadline (hurray!!!!!), the not so good news is we still don't have a publisher (booooooo!!!!).

However we do have options.

A) We self publish. We print, distribute and market the book ourselves.
B) In an ideal world we find a publisher who does all of the above.
C) We publish using a website like Lulu.Com, at the moment this looks our best available option.

We have also decided to begin every chapter with a quote. These have been taken from famous people, ancient proverbs, Del's family and friends and the Shawshank Redemption.

Our wonderful proof reader Tamsin, is gamely wading through the drafts she has been sent. We are expecting some polishing up will be needed to the copy but are hoping to have a final manuscript ready in the near future.

Thanks for reading and we will update you soon.

Del
