Some news about our next publication...
Here's what Vic has to say about it...
'It’s Like Taking Candy From A Dog ~ That’s what my uncle Mac used to say whenever he slotted another goal past me (two grown men against a couple of kids).
So I used it for the title of my book, which is an account of childhood told, for the most part, by the boy in the 1970s present rather than the adult looking back.
Stories and episodes from the life of a boy are threaded together by the musings of a threadbare sock monkey called Luke. The monkey haunts (or taunts?) the man the boy has become.
Tales of football, picnics, cats, holidays, rabies, ghosts, skeletons, George Best, Father Christmas, punk rock, moth rescue, starling execution, ant holocaust, emu puppets and being winked at by strangers.
I have also latterly come to realise that the book is also my apology to the boy I once was for the way I’ve turned out.'
A launch has been planned for the evening of Friday 2nd of July at The Betsey Trottwood, 56 Farringdon Road, London. If you're in the area pop along from 7pm for some readings, short films and tombola action.
It's our first foray into the world of full length novels and we are really quite excited about it. Right I best get binding, hopefully It will be finished in time!

Price Restructuring
We have undertaken an extensive review of our prices based on, amongst other things, the cost of raw materials and amount of effort involved in the production of each publication. Having consulted with valued customers, authors and esteemed colleagues in the independent publishing world we have settled on the following price structure for future publications.
Chapbook (up to 40 pages, stapled spine) - £5.00
Slim Tome (40-100 pages, perfect bound) - £7.50
Novel (100 pages +, perfect bound) - £10.00
In light of this we have scrapped the old subscription option, existing subscriptions will still be honoured. This should allow us to be more adventurous in our publications; we hope this meets with your continued approval.
