Is this cheating?

[Eco-Chic]

I want it too because I enjoyed the taster chapters. I think I may have to wait for a few weeks though

My sister wants to know what Santa should bring me and what I want for my birthday so I shall send her a link

[HayleyB]

Right that's it, I know what I want for Xmas from my daughter now, link being emailed to OH so he can order it for her

Thanks all. If any Grapes are in the Oxfordshire area, there are a number of bookshops now stocking Grow Your Own Cows. You can see a full list at Bookshops where you can buy Grow Your Own Cows.

Those of you interested in the self-publishing side of it have a look at the blog: Bookshops are now stocking Grow Your Own Cows Reb's Blog

Hi Reb - I 'listened in' online today - well done you! An inspiration to the rest of us that just dream of writing our experiences down one day... Hope you, at least, get a decent return on your investment in publishing! And great to have you contribute to the vine - which I hope you are enjoying as much as I am!

[Phattaff]

Just to say book looked good so ordered one off Amazon, now just waiting for it to be delivered so i can have a read.
All the best Phattaff

Our copy arrived although trying to explain to DD that it was my Xmas present from her was a bit traumatic, 12 years old and a brain the size of a............ planet um...

[Reb Williams]

Hee hee! brilliant. I am very much enjoying this whole publishing lark, mainly because of all the nice comments from people like yourselves. Incidentally, for those of you who did listen in to the radio programme, you'll recall that the presenter suggested my dad might come on to tell his side of the story? They contacted me today to say they were serious and ask when he can come and be interviewed.... watch this space.

So Rob, you have done the easy bit, that what comes naturally. Now comes the hard bit. Promotion..........."tell em how it really is" and you will walk it.

I will tune in.........

[Eco-Chic]

Good luck Reb. I'm sure you'll be great. I'll be listening out for you (hangover permitting).
My copy has arrived but I'm being very good and not looking at it until I find out whether it is for my birthday or Christmas
