Book update
Posted in The book by Twenty Major on January 10th, 2008
Had a meeting with the publishers this morning to go over the last few bits and pieces. That then leaves me with a few more bits and pieces but by Monday the manuscript should be finally completed.
Then it goes through the various production stages and it should be in the shops towards the end of next month.
At some point here on the blog I’ll post a teaser, perhaps the prologue. So keep your eyes peeled. Or just check the blog and at some point you’ll see it.
Without being boastful in any way, it is, without question, the funniest book I have ever written.
Twenty Major And The Order Of The Phoenix Park coming soon to a car booth sale near you.
Good luck!!

I’ll look forward to reading it.
It has pictures right? I only read books if they have pictures….

Now you see why I will never be a writer.
Damn fingers.

It’s not to be sold in any shop that might raise any money for charity.

Huzzah! Alread on my wish list, Twenty!
What’s the ‘fuck’ per page ratio?

Good to hear - this huge incredible delay had a tinge of Duke Nukem Forever about it :)

two shoulds too many in your post. so can expect to see it next year (based on previous experience)?

Should is a good word. I should use it more.
No idea about the fucks per page, I think it’s quite high though.
And I’m always sober.

Will it be available down under? Or will I have to buy it from Amazon, the greedy bastards. charge a fortune for postage and can’t even guarantee that ye’ll get a good read out of the boooook.

I suppose I can expect one of THOSE emails soon from Amazon…
“Dearest Samuel,
We have noticed that you are a bit of a perv, and like books with lots of bad language and sex.. Well you may be interested in this….”
Thanks TM
I had just gotten those people off my back…

Hell’s tits, I’ll read it. But then I’ll read the back of shampoo bottles.

It’d have to be Amazon, Shelagh.

I’ve been getting Easons vouchers off my Auntie every Christmas for a bout ten years now. I got another €20 off her this year. This year I am going to enjoy burning them even more than usual and that’s not just because they are made of plastic now.
Fuck you and fuck your cunting book, you cunt.

I’m looking forward to it.
I was in easons today and I noticed that Jordan (or Katie Price) is now a novelist. She has written a novel. I was going to burn the shop down right there and then, but ill wait til your book is out for a while, then im burning it down.

I just bought a shredder that can deal telephone books but I’ll still buy yours just to get used to the different settings!

Without being contrary, I think it is, without question, the worst book you have ever written.
My copy’s preordered with Amazon.

Well done lad. You can have a stand at the blog awards signing copies:
“To fuckface. Go fuck yourself you cunt,
Twenty Major”
January 10th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
22
I’ll pre-sign them, that works for nearly everyone.
January 10th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
23
Especially if Robbie Keane comes along.
January 10th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
24
Now Johnny 5, what the fuck is up with your bad self?
January 10th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
25
Well done Twenty. I look forward to reading it.
I do hope you do a book signing though! I does like a personalised book scrawl, I does.

Ah backup toilet paper beats using my fingers…
January 10th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
27
without question, the funniest book I have ever written.
Is this not your first? Are you really Bertie’s daughter and using this to show your disdain towards your corrupt cunt of a papa?
Please do a signing; my dog wants to fuck your leg

Jesus Twenty, if you peddle your booky wook any harder, we’ll have to start calling you Sean Kelly….

January 10th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
30
Erm, I dunno?
January 10th, 2008 at 10:37 pm
31

January 11th, 2008 at 8:26 am

Ahh, I see now. I thought it was going to be something much more interesting than that.

Well I’m glad this first effort is out of the way. The second will be soooo much funnier, I’m told!
Can’t wait to get hold of it young Twenty, good lad.

Im beginning to worry about the sheer amount of people I disappoint everyday.
January 11th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
