I thought I'd better post a brief update on progress toward publication of the new book...
First up: THANK YOU to everyone who has ordered a copy of "Threatening Cuts". I'd planned to publish next week, but it's not quite ready yet.
The draft has now been proofread and it's looking good and ready to go back to the printers as soon as we have reached our funding target.
However, I am still waiting for the hair-harvesting people in Bloomsbury to decide whether or not they want to buy my hair. They seem to be dragging their feet. (Presumably through a big pile of my hair.)
They said they'd be in touch by now, but they haven't been. If they don't respond in the next few weeks, we'll have funds by early August anyway, so we'll just go ahead and expect publication toward the end of summer.
BUT: if we can get 12 more orders in before then I can go right ahead and print.
Call this a blended finance model: crowd-funding with hair-funding as fall-back.
Here is this blog-post in video form, with a poem at the end:
And here is the link to order "Threatening cuts"...
