A shambolic post about books, Dear Reader, inspired by the passing of a man called Barry, best known for his love of films…
*Fucking hell, Clicky, how did you find that? I remember watching that interview on telly at the time…*
*No fucking way! That advert was shown every time I went to the pictures…*
… And conversations last night with Leggy and Cade…
I discovered my Native American animal is Stag, Dear Reader…
Hugo’s a beaver apparently…
*’Cultish’ is incredibly offensive, Clicky… Funny as FUCK but liable to give those with a weak constitution an attack of the vapers…*
Leggy has now published Longrider’s anthology of short stories, Blackjack… And what a stunning collection of tales it is…
*I offer him copy editing services for free, Clicky… That way I get to read the stories for free… It’s a kinda win/win situation…*
Whilst the publisher provided the front cover, the author supplied the artwork for the back…
While a count of 17 is a good hand, the player may wish to draw for a higher total.
Three of Blackjack’s stories appeared in The Underdog Anthology...
… Along with Hugo’s story Jesus Saves…
*I hope he publishes it at The Probe, Clicky… I think a lot of people will want to read ‘Cultish’ after that…*
*Ah, I can’t make him listen to me, Clicky… I can’t make anyone do any fing…*
Anyhoo, Leggy has now managed to publish a book a month since Christmas. Well done him! And I really hope he’ll publish one of his own stories in July…
*Knot at all, Clicky, it’s ready… He let me read it… /lights up and exhales… It’s been ready for fucking ages…*
Of course a ‘full house’ isn’t a term in blackjack, but it is one in poke ‘er…
*I guess my shambles can be a bit gaga, Clicky… /bites lip… Oh well, shall we finish up and have a Song?*
