The Book That Changed My Life
Great news! I was at a book launch tonight for ‘The Book That Changed My Life’, a collection of non-fiction stories from people of all walks of life. My submission – singing the praises of Jeff Torrington’s Swing Hammer Swing! – had been included in full (woohoo!), and I was greeted at the door with my contributor’s copy of the book.
Flicking through the pages was an eye-opener, and very interesting to see Leon A.C. Qualls frae doon the road in the same book as Brian Cox from X-Men 2 (Troy, Braveheart and Manhunter – to name but a few). Unfortunately I’ve been feeling rather unwell the past couple of days; so that plus the fact I’m off to London tomorrow meant I had to give the copious amounts of free alcohol a miss. What a shame! Still though, I bumped into the lovely Ali Bowden (forgot to take a pic, wah!) and getting my hands on the book was happy days enough.
Seeing my story in print was a heart-warming thing (either that or the fever was taking hold), and I would like to thank all those at The Scottish Book Trust for having created a wonderful public project – which will surely introduce some literary gems to those who weren’t aware of them – and Luath Press for printing out a mighty fine book.
I highly recommend this book and who knows, via this book you may just find the book to change your life. You can buy a copy of ‘The Book That Changed My Life’ here

Moo – not a cow, just a way to keep contact
A friend of mine recently handed me a spiffy little contact card and suggested I get myself some. After much research I came across Moo who actually offer a trial of their services. You can order 50 free cards from them, and check out their quality before thinking of buying a bucketful.
I tried it and was more than happy with the final product. The great aspect of what they offer, is that you can either use their templates for your card, or if you are feeling creative (like moi) you can design your own. I’ve made two different fronts for my cards with a kind of heaven and hell theme (or ice and fire, s’all good), with both cards having the same background aka me. Haha.
Contact cards can be a fun way of networking, and if you are thinking of getting some, I recommend trying Moo’s free trial offer.
