The U&F Test Paperback Copy Arrives!

I took time out of editing the audio of Blood and Smoke Ep 5 to open (with the help of my friend Terry) a parcel from Lulu Publishing. This video shows you the book, but it also highlights a few language items for my students (two birds with one stone ;-) Thanks again to MJ Hahn for the fab artwork!

UFBS 5 - A Taster

Yes, Episode 5 late, but trust me, I have a very good reason. The full episode is about 1/3 finished and should be with you in a few days, until then, please accept this as a tasty little appetiser 

Big, Hard, and Totally Awesome!!

It arrived early this afternoon. Four years in the writing and another two in the editing, formatting and publishing. Finally, the single biggest achievement of my life lands on my desk - and it's gorgeous! Thanks to M.J. Hahn for the cover artwork, Jason Oh for the author photograph, my wife for her help with proof-reading and formatting, and the gallant contributors to the U&F fundraiser! Huzzah!! Underwood and Flinch rises!!

 

Hello, Dave.

Saw this story in the Huffington Post and decided to join the call.

Forgive the short blog post: I have to go to bed, I'm Being "observed" in class tomorrow, which is technical for "my boss is going to watch me and decide whether or not I'm worth employing". Sleep is needed ;-)

Ooops!

Damn! Spent 90 mins recording B&S Episode 4 only to discover afterwards that my microphone hadn't been plugged in to the PC!! The internal mic had recorded me instead and it sounded awful. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to do it again tomorrow. Such a pity; it was a good read :-(

First Look at the Hardback Cover by M.J. Hahn

Here it is, a first look a the cover of the hardback edition of Underwood and Flinch, as designed by the sublimely talented M.J. Hahn. Like the first podcast, this book will contain both Volumes 1 and 2 of the U&F Chronicles. Neither book nor cover are finished yet, but this is essentially what the cover will look like when it comes out later this year.

I can't say when it'll be out yet; not only is there still work to be done on this cover, but I'd like to release a paperback at the same time to give you a choice of which edition you'd prefer. Hey, maybe you'd even like to get both :-)

My huge thanks to M.J. Hahn for all the hard work he's put into this - and the other covers he's designed for my ebooks. If you haven't heard his wonderful podcast works, then do check them out today, right here: M.J. Hahn's Latchkey Tales.
