The U&F Test Paperback Copy Arrives!

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.

Underwood and Flinch rises!!

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 :-(
