I am always interested in writers of local history and came across a book by Brian Stringer from Walsall Wood called 'The Clayhanger Kid' which he had self published. If you can get a copy of this book it is well worth a read and while it is set earlier than my book I can relate to many of the things he talks about.
I have just read that he had a book signing in a library yesterday which was very well attended and enjoyed by many.
I do still have a few copies of my book available if any readers are interested - the book is called 'A bang or a Whimper' and is available from me directly for the princely sum of £10 which includes post and packing.
I recently sent one to an old school chum up in Northumberland and he emailed me to say that it was the best tenner he had spent in ages.

Book update - audio version available now!!
Well dear reader(s)I am happy to announce that there is now an audio version of my book available, read by yours truly and consisting of 3 cd's which last 2 hours 49 minutes. I am hoping that this will enable more people to access the book and enjoy reading my memories - certainly there has been some positive feedback from many who have bought it. I am hoping for more feedback from some of those who have bought it but are keeping it to read over the Christmas break.
I have given a test copy to a colleague who travels some distance to work each day and listens to talking books as she does so I thought she might be a good guinea pig, and I have a copy in my car which I am listening to as I travel to and from work etc.
Although I say it myself I think it is a very professional effort considering it was recorded and edited in our front room and my son's bedroom - he has also produced a very good cover for the cd boxes and again I have to be honest it looks very professional so many thanks to him for the work he has done on this project.
Now it may be that you are sitting there thinking if this is so professional what is it going to cost and the simple answer is £10 plus post and packing of £3 so a total cost of £13 - obviously if you know me well and live fairly near you could avoid the postage costs.
The paper copy of the book is still available and I am expecting a further batch today having sold the first two batches I ordered and this can be obtained for £7 plus post and packing.
A review of the book can be found over at Methodist Preacher's blog.
If you want more information please contact me.

Long time no blog!
Hi folks I have just returned from a Circuit Meeting where I was taken to task by one of my readers for not blogging so I thought I needed to make sure I posted something in case other readers were suffering from withdrawal symptoms.
As a point of information I have now sold 59 copies of my book 'A Bang or a Whimper' and have finished recording the audio version of the book which should be available next week or the week after at the latest for the really good price of £10 per copy (will probably be 3 or 4 discs). Don't forget the printed version is available for just £6 and you can email me for further details or to place an order.
Vestry Prayers - this Sunday coming is the first Sunday In Advent in year 'C' of the Revised Common Lectionary so I will be posting a vestry prayer sometime tomorrow for those who find these useful.
Christmas is coming and I would like to advertise two events that are coming up at Pleck Methodist Church that I will be involved in - the first one is an afternoon Carol Service on Wednesday 9th December at 2-30p.m.which is really intended for people who may not wish to come out in an evening. The second one is an event called Carol Praise which will take place at Pleck Methodist Church on Wednesday 16th December at 7p.m. with music provided by HIMS Ancient and Modern. If ou want more details please let me know.
If you are free on either or both of these days we would love to see you there.

New Book now available!
Some of my readers may be interested to know that my new book is now available. It is called 'A bang or a Whimper' and is a trip down memory lane (my memory) and will take you back to the sixties in the area of the Black Country where I grew up. My son who has read it five times says he thinks it is a good read and that I should sell a least two copies. The book is available for £6 plus post and packing and if you would like a copy drop me an email at ipsouthall@supanet.com and I will send you full details of how to contact me etc.
