World tour...

[Jo Zebedee]

So, I'm on a world tour.

This began accidentally when my uncle's sister sent a pic of Abendau under a road sign in Wales and posted it on Facebook. Since then I've had pictures of it in Italy masquerading on a bookcase, Australia, twice, once by @mgilmour on the ipad and an upside down paperback pic from Rosemary.

Then @ratsy took one in Canada, and one is en route in a suitcase to Portugal for a pic. And obviously there's loads in sweet little Northern Ireland.

So, I need one in America, Chronners, (I think they're arriving at the moment, yay!), and in England and Scotland, maybe. France? Etc Etc. Could be good craic, and it's only a bit of fun. If anyone does post one here, Facebook or Twitter, tag me and I'll pick it up and share it around.

(I might even mention it in my interview today if it comes up... or is that too silly for words?)

Most misleading thread title ever.

Wonder if they are here in NZ yet? Maybe I should go have a look in the local shops?

Well, you have to get people reading a thread somehow.

I think Rosemary had to order it in, Warren, but she did manage to get it via a bookshop in Australia. Or, if you order the paperback on Amazon, doesn't POD allow it to be delivered anywhere? @Gary Compton would know better than me.

 

[Warren_Paul]

Yeah, I could order it from Amazon, but would take like 2 weeks to get here (and the postage is crazy) but if I had to order it in through a bookshop then it's going to take that long anyway.

Yeah, it took ages.

Post an image of cover we can print and wrap on existing book and hold under our local sign...

Though I suppose if you are doing that you can just download the places too!

Hmm. Abendau's Heir is right here on my desk... Tower Bridge is right outside...

Oh, I created an album for this, btw - any member can upload to it.

That's terrific. And it's sunny. I thought sunshine was a myth.

 

[Zoe Mackay]

It's lovely today - really spring-like. Pun unintended.

Just be careful not to use the Add Sun Plug-in: one never knows what might be added given that Abendau's Heir is an... er... top seller....

My 'book-book' is in Birmingham at the moment, but I'll pop out later and take a pic with the e-book cover.

Edited to say: I'm going to Brazil in July so will also take a pic there.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

That would be amazing! Brazil!!!

Would the Kingdom of Geordie land count?

Of course! Get thee to the harbour.

This is a cool idea. I am thinking a competition. Best pic wins #1 in the hardback? Maybe @Brian Turner could create a vote for it with say closing date 3oth June?

T'would be cool, but there are some non-chronners involved too, we'd need to think how to incorporate them. Could we find some impartial judges?

But it's just a bit of fun, sparked by a couple of relatives on their hols. In fact, here'a a wee blog on it: http://jozebwrites.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/my-world-tour.html

The Masters would have been awesome, @Parson! And I'm so glad it's there.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Venice tonight!

 

[ratsy]

wow that is awesome. I think I need to go back to New York just to get a pic with it on the top of the Empire State Bldg..haha

wait, I will do that for my own book some time...
