My books have sold dozens, literally dozens of copies in the UK. Why wouldnt they follow my lead in all things? <BR/><BR/>My advice - get a blurb from C.

I must email her and see if they've a wee statement I can post.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if they'll get around to reading my sample chapters any time soon? Hopefully they'll cut me some slack. I told them some ganch called McKinty's offered to blurb it.<BR/><BR/>gbGerard Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18301381067485712366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-160907056447793603.post-25435426760596603942008-09-01T12:07:00.000+01:002008-09-01T12:07:00.000+01:00Diane Creighton, SEELB primary music curriculum st...Diane Creighton, SEELB primary music curriculum stuff. <BR/><BR/>A...<BR/><BR/>Ger, hey you want an exclusive?

I'm a part-qualified accountant working for the Belfast Education and Library Board. Cool, eh?<BR/><BR/>Actually, it's helped me a lot with funding applications.
