To you the lucky finder...

It has been just over a year since I published my book, and since I haven't posted anything for a long old time, I thought it would be appropriate to do so now, and to tell you about how I am going to mark the occasion. I have no idea if this is going to work or not and I can't decide whether it's a silly idea or a brilliant one, but time will tell on both counts I suppose.

The idea is this:

I am shortly going to be spending a few days in London, and I thought it might be a nice idea to give away a few free books. I have, this very day, taken delivery of a few copies of 'Unbelievable', and I intend to leave them lying around the various places that I visit in the capital.

Inside the front covers I have penciled in a code word, a different one for each of them, and drawn attention to this blog. The idea being that anyone who finds them can visit this site and leave a comment on where they found the book, whether they intend reading it or not, whether they like it, or hate it, and, most importantly, whether they will be telling their friends about it.

So, if you are reading this post because you have found a copy of my book, please leave a comment, quoting your code word so I know that you are genuine, and let me know what you think.


Many thanks.

Center for Inquiry

Center for Inquiry is an educational organisation in the US that promotes evidence based reasoning and secular ethics in the face of pseudo-science and religious propaganda.

They have very kindly provided a link to my book on their website.

Thanks chaps and chapesses. I'm much obliged.

My radio interview

I was invited to be interviewed on my local BBC radio station, BBC Guernsey, last week. I can't tell you how nervous I have been, but it's all over now, and I must say I think it went quite well. I haven't had the courage to listen back yet, so I hope my nerves didn't come across too much.

The interviewer, Jenny Kendall-Tobias, put me at ease almost immediately, and I actually found myself enjoying the experience.

I've never done anything like this before, but I figured that if I am serious about marketing my book, I ought to take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself.

Anyway, you can listen to the show here. I start at about 30 minutes in and I'm on for about an hour. If anyone is reading this, please let me know what you think.

Thanks
