Terry's book is being offered as a competion prize in South Essex according to a friend who lives there.  I think it's a newspaper competition.

[TerryMurphy]

Yes thats right Tom,the thinks you have to do to drum up Trade, It is in all the Yellow pages in Essex,The idea being you get a half a page advetising for  the book,,so it works out cheaper than Putting Adds in,, and who ever wins the books tell there pales and hope they go and buy.we have had to give 100 books away,which cost us (me)over £1000.00.Our Advertising company say its worth it ,lets hope it is..sales are going okay,its as they say in the trade is a grower,will continue to sell over a longer period.rather than a block buster,thats will be next time Ha Ha.T.M

I have mentioned the book on the Newham site but they are such a bunch of plonkers.  They don't like someone from outside their little circle, i.e. me, getting involved and either rubbish my posts or delete them. But there you are, into every life a little sh*t will fall.

Keep at it!!
