Book 2 – The cover

Posted on | September 23, 2008 | 57 Comments

Bar anything truly radical happening this looks set to be the final cover for Book 2 – Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.

Publication date is around the same as the first one, so towards the end of Feb or early March.

    I am reading the first one at the moment,but in true adhd style,i am also read Slash’s Biography and Love will save the day..
    I am enjoying it immensly,its nice to read about places i actually know ,makes the story all the more vivid..
    Jimmy the bollix’s brother is a complete cunt though.although he could redemm himself before the end…

    Had to get them to black it up a bit, cover the grey.

    The publicity itinerary has not yet been decided but Kilcock will almost certainly be the first port of call.

    Cliff’s a card alright,the whole pretending to be a christian while actually being Satan incarnate and all that.. you have to hand it to him,he certainly knows how to bring in a crowd..

    I will inform the Kilcock Council immediately! They can start planning which roads to block off and where to site the heli-pad etc. Just dont tell them you had your muff trimmed ok? They’re very conservative.
    Tell Fintan he did a grand job on the cover too will you?

    You’re the picture of ill health, Twenty. Peter Cushing could not look as Gothic as you still manage to in a Hawaiian skinny-tee.

    Cover looks great!

    No copyright problem with the title Twenty?
    It was used as the title of an episode of Californication.

    I think it’s been used more than that maggot.

    No, Christmas is not the time apparently. They have their slots and slots have to be booked and all that. I dunno.

    Why the glum face?

    You should be smiling, cause you look like you could balance things on your ears.

    Sister maggot says: Sure it isn’t George Michael BoS?

    Eheh. The love-child of Shane McGowan and George Michael.

    Neither of them would be able to deny it either cos they can’t remember anything.

    He’s such a social climber, is Twenty. You watch, it’ll be Peaches Geldof next.
