Dear Sir or Madam, d'yer fancy a read of my book?
It took me years to write so will you take a look.
So I want to be a paperback writer!
Pretty much that. If I may paraphrase....
This is my first novel.
I should have done this ages ago. I'll get that in first, save you all from telling me this. You'd be right but lets not dwell on that.
I have previously written for football and music fanzines. And now I want to do this all the time. You haven't even got your hands on the debut novel, but I can tell you that I already have plans and plots for books two and three. So this won't be a one-hit wonder. If you'll excuse the pun.
Having worked with bands and experienced the rock'n'roll lifestyle first hand, this book is based on some of the anecdotes that I heard or witnessed along the way. Some true. Some not so true. And some are utter fantasy....

$100 World Book Day NQ Walking Tour bonus
0 readers
10 x Signed Print copies (hardback)
1 x Northern Quarter Walking Tour – with photo opportunities
1 X Print from Not Quite Light archive
A World Book Day bonus promo.
To celebrate World Book Day, treat yourself to a unique 'The Rock And The Roll. And That' experience.
Your ‘bundle’ purchase will allow you to give copies of the book as presents and experience a brilliant photographic walking tour.
Award winning photographer, Simon Buckley of Not Quite Light fame, is quite the local historian and his photographic project was initially to document the changes that Manchester’s Northern Quarter has undergone.
This bonus will enable the purchaser to join Simon and myself for a walking tour of the Northern Quarter whereby you will be able to both learn a little of Manchester’s history together with an opportunity to have a few ‘NQL’ pictures of your own. We’ll also have a look at some of the key locations that are featured in ‘The Rock ’n’ The Roll. ‘N That’
You will also be able to pick a print of your choice from the NQL archive - http://simonbuckleyphotographer.bigcartel.com/ - which retail at £75.00
I’m sure you’ll agree that this all adds up to a fascinating experience and if that’s not enough, I’m sure we’ll find time for a pint – or a coffee if you decide to take the tour at dawn!!

Having said that I wouldn't bombard you...
The first wave of pre-orders gets the draft in front of 15 publishers.
Next big hurdle is 100 whereby it is put on front of the 'big boys'
Keep on keeping on. And sharing the fuck out of the campaign link
Cheers
