Hello!
There's quite a lot going on at the moment; I've been busily writing short stories and poems for my next-NEXT book ARE WE THERE, YETI?, whilst putting the finishing touches to my official next collection: FUNERAL FOR A SHOE. I'm not quite sure when FUNERAL will be out - either late this year or I may hold it back until January 2012; especially as the 10th anniversary edition of JUNK/FOOD is due in November. I've also been busy working on new SHY YETI ON LOCATION videos - the first of which, set in the Isle of Wight, should be posted next week. Then I'll move onto the series I filmed in the States back in late July and early August.
Anyway - the main reason for this post is to list all the titles that will be included in FUNERAL FOR A SHOE. I promise to post one or two more pieces from it over the next month or so - once the VAMPIRE COWS OF SCUNTHORPE "campaign" is officially finished... I still have a video to edit which is all about that book! Eeeek Returning to FUNERAL I can reveal exclusively that there are far more prose pieces and stories in this book than poems. Oh yes, indeed! So, here are the titles...
