Well, it's still happening. With life's turmoil I have completed the 15th chapter/scene and the book has been two thirds checked. Really happy with it. Someone has been murdered and some people have coped for a few things. Not actually Dial M for Murder but not far off- I think.
Just updating that its nearly ready for about 100 checks and rechecks.
Penultimate part done , looking forward to finalising.

Does it still have the guys I sent pictures of in it mate? Of course..,,the photo has been used and those interested on being a part character have been documented throughout. I've just to wait on my proof reader who is half way through checking it all. Otherwise just tarting it up.

Will be contacting some characters for the odd picture inclusion soon. The book needs to have a bit of variety and propose some real person picture content. Just adding 'partners' , as they say.....interested advertising and having it FINAL proof read.

OK...Been telephoning you characters about the books need for action pictures. Got through to seven of you thus far, thanks for our conversations.
But having trouble getting to some and feel I may have the wrong number OR numbers have changed since the start of this venture.
So....Tom Higson, Andrew Blatherwick and Elaine Thompson, can you get in touch please. Plus Andy Gill too as I have not been able to leave a message.
David Temple, Neil Thomas, Bradley Brooks and Iain Dilley....I have left you folks an answer machine message.

Just have to get the photos done before looking for a possible publisher or it's me who will have to go to print. So the end of the tunnel is opening up.

Opps yes the 7th I meant. Meet you pre training or at the end? One of you skating off injured. Adi, Paul, Wayne, Bob and Andy ( one celebrating a goal) others sat on bench watching)......the odd scrimmage maybe but don't have opposition for that. Confirm time for me.

Just wondering if anyone's going to be at the game on Saturday, as I'm travelling down to watch it. Would be nice to meet you, Mick, and anyone else involved in the book.

Sorry, I missed this message but alas I get to few games and so you didn't miss me. I have not been to one yet and could more likely be at an away game. The books story, now finished, awaits three pictures from the Sheffield recreational team 'Blaze' and some sort of finance I don't have just now. So it's shelved one last time before it can come out. A publisher or better cash flow to be worked upon bar those three inserts.
