That's great, Zondrae. Thanks a mill. I really appreciate it.

if Manfred ever gets the ad up and running,


you might have to grease a few palms with the promise of bulk billing but i think it's worth a shot

MAAAAAAATE, Have I got a deal for you. This mate of mine directed a little flick called "Australia". It had some red-headed sheila and a bloke who was a mutant wombat or something, but I'm sure I can cut us a GREAT deal ... THIS CAN GO VIRAL!!!!

Good luck with it Stephen,

Books for children is one of the few possible growth areas I see for written poetry.

Getting the publicity as you mention is the biggest hurdle to overcome.

Thanks, Terry. I think you are right. I took four copies along to the Ringwood Folk Club last night (didn't want to come home with a bunch of unsold books!) and sold them all easily. Could have sold a few more. Hopefully next week I will!

I've now got two got (somewhat belatedly) two young grandsons and already have the C.J Dennis book saved up for them, but will no doubt contact you shortly for one of yours.

Great!

Have you thought of a suggested children's age bracket for your book Stephen?
I guess it's a bit like how long is a piece of string - I was thinking more of a starting age.
Not that it will make any difference to me - just curious.

Thanks.

Do you have any community radio channels in your area Stephen. They are always keen to do interviews ... I know from experience ... and I reckon they would love to do a kid's poem feature.
Lots of luck ... and where can I buy a copy?
