Lets see – time for a general catch up.
I feel like someone has punched me in the face. I'm actually waiting for the anaesthetic to wear off from having a filling done. I have a lovely dentist who doesn't hurt me at all.
So long as I pay promptly.
Yesterday on Amazon 'Da Book' peaked at #66 overall ranking and at #2 on the pre-release chart. My ego is coming along nicely.
Tomorrow I'm being picked up by a car from ITN News in order to do a TV interview. Yes – I am joyful. I just need to find something suitable to wear. If some bright spark could digitise it for me I would be eternally grateful. (Unless I make a prat of myself, in which case I'll find a cave to hide in).
I'm on annual leave for the next two weeks and a week of that will be spent sunning myself by the pool in the Dominican Republic. Therefore blogging may be a bit few and far between depending on any access I have out there. I think I'll need the holiday so I can deal with the book launch the day after I come back.
I'm also doing an email interview with Time Out, and various radio and print bits are planned for after I come back. I am _loving_ whoring myself for publicity and I'm extremely glad that I chose the Friday Project as my publishers. I chose them for exactly this reason, that it would be *fun*.
The Mac is coming along lovely, especially now it has a battery that works (and no, it's not a 'Pro').
Now I just need to run around like a loon getting everything sorted before I fly off for my anticipated relaxing week.
UPDATE: The interview will take place between 12.45 and 1.30pm on 'London Today', ITV1. It will be live. I will be nervous. I won't see it unless someone tapes it for me. This may be for the best.
You know, The Da Vinci Code has done wonders for Opus Dei recruitment. Just think what your book will do for the ambulance service!
Enjoy your time by the pool. Don't get too sunburned in case you come back to more interviews!
When's the TV interview going to be on?
Oooh do tell us when you will be on the box.
Hey there 'Reynolds'I read your article in the Mail yesterday and have ordered the book. I have been working with other EMTs on a serious TV format about the service and would love to get your input. Get in touch if you are interested. Looking forward to the book. ricky@pitandstuff.co.uk

wear the red shirt, that looked lovely.Enjoy your holiday š
I only own red shirts.They go well with my otherwise pretty black wardrobe.
oh. The one you wore in the thingy video. The one where Neil Gaiman's video featured the stunt lime, you know the video I'm talking about. That shirt looked nice.Me, I can't wear red tops with black trousers because that was my high school uniform and I'm still scarred by it.
I would order the book but a) I'm in Vietnam and backpacking around the country and b) Amazon charge a flipping fortune for postage. I'll wait till I'm back in the UK and can order enough to nullify the postal charges!Expect a sale sometime in 2008 š
do you have any ambo stories in a file somewhere that you can give to someone you trust to post when you are on holiday.
