Ancient Greece to Dubbo
I am probably contractually obliged to mention that I have a new book out today. It is my first humour book since the vile crime against trees I wrote with Anne-Marie Forker. Another co-authored affair, this time I had the pleasure of working with Matt Adams – a good writer, friend and man who shares my dubious taste in what is funny.
Called 1001 Ridiculous Ways To Die, it does exactly what it says on the cover. Written primarily for Harper-Collins in Australia, it records 1001 ridiculous deaths. From the 8th Century BCE to May 2008, ancient Greece to Dubbo, if someone has kicked the bucket in a bizarre way, they are probably in our book.
Released in the British Isles today, it is not due out in Australia till November 1st, when Matt and I will be doing the publicity rounds. An American version is due for release in January 2009.

I shall keep my eyes peeled, David.
Eyes Peeled - would that be Way number 1002?
Now THAT sounds like a fun book!
Crazylegs – 1002 was death by scarfing involving a Volkswagen.
Marvin – Some might call it fun…
In our family of you do something stupid you are likely to be called a "Dubbo" amongst other...We use dubbo as the eptiome of homegrown fashion and eccentricity...must go there one day to see what the fuss is all about.
Welcome back to blogland!! I didn't read you for ages and ages and then all these posts appear! Are you having a new book out?
;-) ;-)
Oh I am glad to see you back, David.
Now I am off to read all the posts above.
I would like to secure a copy of this book, once it releases in America.
