EBook release

Post by Maureen K Clifford » Tue Mar 19, 2013 8:01 pm

Not sure where to put this but here's probably as good a place as any

Well I've finally done it - released a book. I know I am a late starter in this but still the race is not always to the swift or so my Dad used to say.

If interested it is available through booktango on this link

AUSSIE TAILS AND AUSSIE MALES AND ONE OR TWO OTHER THINGS

ebook cover Stanthorpe Texas Property Pictures.jpg


That's the title - here's what its about:
What is contained within this book I hope speaks for itself. It is predominantly poetry written about Australia and her people in the Bush Poetry style. There’s a yarn and a couple of jokes as well as some photos and I don’t know if it is all politically correct but it’s told as one would tell a story to a good mate – over a cuppa or a beer.

A collection of poetry and yarns written over the years. Some are true; some have a fair share of bulldust sprinkled on them. All are Australian and written with love. There’s a horse or two making their appearance, lots of dogs and more than one or two sheep. There’s the cow cocky, the farmer, the drover and sometimes a swaggie coming up the track. The odd bit of machinery roars in and the mild swear word occasionally roars out. You’ll get to read about the Aussie bush, the Aussie sheilas and blokes and get a taste of some Australian humour as well. There’s a bit of everything in here – it’s a Heinz variety. You might read some sad ones as well as some bloody mad ones. I hope there’s no bad ones. Cheers Maureen

G'day Maureen

I'm not sure if it is deliberate or not, given your love of animals, but I would have thought that it should be 'tales' instead of 'tails'. You might need to fix that up.

Regards

No John - totally deliberate - a lot of the stories are about the 4 legged variety. I am surprised you would think I would have mucked that up other than on purpose :lol: :lol: :lol:

It is a nice cover photo, but something that showed animals might have worked better to reflect the play on 'tails'. That was what my thought was. I know you, so therefore I know the connection whereas someone who doesn't know you may not make that connection and it might look like a mistake to them. Even having 'tails' in quotation marks might have made the connection easier to make for someone who doesn't know you.
