- Update and thanks
We are nearing the end of the ‘contributing phase’ and I’m amazed at what we have achieved in a month.
The list below is of the contributing authors and (where they have submitted early) the name of their chapter. I’l be working on confirming a release date over the next couple of weeks. We are hoping to get a ‘guest’ author to write the foreword and to tie up some PR, both these factors might impact the release date. We should be looking at within the next 4-5 weeks for a release (fingers crossed!). Thanks to everyone who has made a contribution or been a supporter. Start thinking about how you are going to publicise the book in your network on release day!
Special thanks
- Neil Usher, Stephen Tovey – for the title
- the incomparable Simon Heath – for the cover
- Steve Browne – for championing the book in the US
- Ian Davidson – for so many suggestions on the PR side
Have a great weekend.

Hi, Are we any closer to knowing a release date yet? I’m rather excited! Thanks, Sandy

Hi Sandy. If nothing changes then I’m hoping within the next fortnight. I’ll obviously let the authors know as soon as we have a firm date. Hope you are well. David
