Book Update

The update is that there is no update! 

I said I thought I would have news by the end of May and I haven't.  I am working my way through the book and I am a third of the way through.  I am finding it a difficult task. I don't see any point in putting myself under undue pressure for this.It is still that case that I cannot decide what to do in relation to the publishing until I have properly read it and made sure there is nothing that is problematic.  As I have already found a few things that I feel are problematic, that makes me feel more nervous about it and even more determined to do a thorough careful job. It will happen when it happens.  So if you want to be kept up-to-date, please let me know to be added to the mailing list of people that are interested in possibly having a copy.

[Updated 16 June 2012: If you want to be added to the mailing list - please send a message with your contact details to kathfrybook at gmail.com]

If anyone is desperate to read the draft so far, I have two printed copies that I can lend out, but the conditions are that you give me feedback on errors and you return it promptly.  If you are happy to wait for a copy to read at your leisure, then that would be better.

Hope you have all been enjoying the sunshine.

One year on

Local elections tomorrow and I am sure that Kath's political colleagues and friends will be reminded that she died on election day last year (5th May).  How quickly a year goes by.

I thought that I would add a little message to say that I hope those of you who are thinking of her do so fondly and do not feel so sad.  Grief is a difficult thing to live with, but with time we all get used to it.

I have been asked what is happening with Kath's book.  I am hoping to have it available in both printed and ebook format very soon for people to buy.  I want it to be available at cost with an option to donate to Friends of Ghyll Head.  I just need to do some final amendments to the type-setting, which I am hoping I can do in May now that I am back in Manchester full time and not working for the moment.  If you are keen to get a copy look back on here at the end of May where I hope details of how to get it will appear, or ring me on her landline number, which is now mine.

The folder of photos of Kath are still in my flickr account if anyone wants to look through them as a reminder: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dentonpotter/sets/72157626668680308/

Hope the election goes the way you want it to.

All the best.
