For the record

[desperance]

I wrote 1068 pages of legitimate work in 2006. In rough terms, that's 300,000 words, which breaks down into two novels, one play and a handful of short stories.

Which in simple word-count is more work than I've done in, oh, twenty years or so. And so, of course, I end the year in a more precarious position professionally and financially than I have been in, oh, twenty years or so.

Memo to self: fix this. Write stuff that sells, y'know? Also, write more.

Also, pimp self. Pimp work. Etc.

Yeah, yeah...

Cool. Tho' if you'd like 'em signed, I could probably rustle up some fairly tidy copies and post 'em. Whereabouts are you at the moment?

Ooh, thanks. Ipswich until Monday, and then Corfe Mullen in Dorset for a few days. Will dig out relevant address in the morning. However, I do not have my UK chequebook with me as I wasn't expecting to need it. :-) I'm too tired to look through your website tonight, but if you've got some way of accepting money from a US credit card...

Hop along to the buying-books page on the website, and we take credit card payments through PayPal; I assume that if you key in a US card to a UK site that wants to charge you sterling, somewhere in the process the appropriate conversion will happen...?

We don't have the US editions of Outremer on the site, but if you just go through the process for the UK ones, I'll send you US copies anyway if I can find six clean ones. If not, I'll send the UK ones. Is that okay?

Argh! Can't see any way to give it a shipping address different to my Californian billing address...

Okay, not a problem. I'm the one who sends the books. Just email me the right address - chaz at chazbrenchley dot co dot uk - and I'll get them in the post today.

PS - d'you want them signed to Jules, or something other...?
