The folks at Thoughtcat Inc, publishers of All My Own Work, reliably inform me that maverick TV documentarist Louis Theroux got in touch recently, initially about the Thoughtcat interview with Graduate author Charles Webb, and then went on to buy a copy of the book. Thanks Louis, you're a gentleman!
I just hope he likes it...

Latest news - bookshop availability and interview
For readers in the London, UK area, I'm pleased to say that All My Own Work is now available to buy direct from The Open Book, King Street, Richmond, for £10.99 - basically the same price as from Lulu, but without the p&p.
The Open Book is an excellent independent bookshop just off Richmond high street, not far from me. I've spent many happy hours in there over the years. As much as I love most of the big chain bookshops, it's great to see a small shop still thriving after so long, and Thoughtcat and I are delighted to do our bit to support them. The Open Book is currently the only "offline" retail outlet where AMOW can be purchased.
Meanwhile, I was recently interviewed by fellow blogger, writer and All My Own Work fan Roland Hulme, who has just posted the interview here. He asked me about the Sankey contest, the pros and cons of co-writing, writing techniques and the publishing deal with Thoughtcat.
Finally, apologies are due for not posting further sample chapters as promised previously. I am on the case!

All My Own Work now available!
I am delighted to report that All My Own Work can now be bought exclusively from www.lulu.com/thoughtcat. I have just received my first copy of the book and can assure you of its high quality. This large-format paperback first edition is priced at £10.99 + p&p. Having tantalised you with the front cover in my previous post, here's the back cover, featuring the Buoy of Orpheus, some yellow paper and a pithy blurb. The Lulu/Thoughtcat link also features a free preview of the intro and first two chapters of the book, which has been revised since the opening chapters were originally posted below a year ago. I'll be posting further news and assorted extracts from the book here over the coming weeks. Enjoy!
