There will be scenes and commentaries which some readers may find disturbing, even offensive. Although to be fair there is something of a nascent allegory to certain themes within the volume which has given rise to these marketing ventures. I would also like to go on record as stating I had nothing to do with this post and even counselled against it…. Oh dear……oh dear.   

Yes folks with each copy of

You get a free course of pogo-stick lessons

Wow! That’s a great idea. Why don’t you come into my office and we can discuss it in more detail.

Duhhhh…hurr…hurrrrr…I’m goin’ ‘ome…duhhhhh…..hur-hur.

Well, we’d love to help out but we’re off to Oshkagoodle to help publicise the annual Oshkagoodle Lychee Fruit Workshop Festival 

Yeaaaa Team Lychee!!!

Naaah, there’s no joy to smacking such folk, they are already in their own painful world of existential denial….. OK Sis’ over to you.

Oh great here comes Ms Blue Collar again

Yeah, like one way-ticket to Cliché Central

Hi honey. Sorry to Skype in on you like this. Just to let you know I’ll be a bit late home tonight. Plumbing job. Anyway tell the girls they can watch Frozen II again, and they have to phone their Aunty Jane to wish her fiancé Sandra a Happy Birthday…OK…love you man of mine…Oh nearly forget would you be a sweetie and contact Professor Williams and tell him I’ve given it a lot of thought but I won’t be taken up the Lectureship on 16th Century Literature in Europe. Bye..darling……

Hi Ladies…….

That was mean!…..

Yeah!

You’re-you’re just so lucky we lost out phones in there otherwise we would twitter something…

Yeah!….

We’ve had enough, we’re off to Oshkagoodle to sneer at Lychees…..

Yeah! 

Ah sometimes ya just gotta clear out the dead wood 

Oh….. It’s gone all quiet… Well I guess that just leaves me…Ummmm… There’s this book.  

And it’s one of those Fantasy sorts. There’s these three young women, a soldier, a kinda wacky traveller, and a housemaid, now she gets stuck with these…powers I guess… and the other two are hunting her, because they have to, y’see. Anyway, they all get together and bond, and have adventures beating up bad guys. And sort of grow in experience, stature and stuff like that. The wacky one and the soldier fall in love which is sorta sweet, and the housemaid becomes really powerful, brave, determined and respected. So it ends well, but it’s part one, of a trilogy….forgot to mention that . There are a few laughs, adult situations and girls talking, y’know girl-talk. And there are lots of other folk doing sneaky back ground things, but like I said it works out, OK…all upbeat. And costs 0.99 on Amazon Kindle.      Was that OK?

Thank you……..I wish I’d asked you to do this in the first place.

“Comedies are fit for common wits:
But to present a kingly troop withal,
Give me a stately-written tragedy;
Tragadia cothurnata, fitting kings,
Containing matter, and not common things.”

Ah a quote from Kydd’s Spanish Tragedy …… How very apt.

I’d have gone from something out of Dostoevsky, but I guess that works.  

That’s all folks!…Good night!
