Expect lots of book stuff to appear on the site throughout the rest of September (well, it will when I get back from sunny Dubai). We hope to run a competition like last year, except this time you'll be able to get your hands on a copy of the book before anyone else - plus some fun and exclusive audio peeks into the audiobook which will be released a week before the paper copy!

Watch this space.

Dubai? Its the place to be these days, it seems. Hmmm.

Don't you have to stay in the resorts though, so you don't get shot at or something?

I don't know, but they have those man-made island in the shape of a palm tree:

And they have the most beautiful hotel in the world too.

The 7 star one? Our MDs been there. We're taking a load of customers to one of the islands if they hit targets with us.

it's actually very good and very much along the same lines as the first.

While I am not one of them, I have a subtle feeling that some people on here may say that what you are saying is a contradiction in terms.

I got the impression with the first book that he was writing to a prescribed formula - like he'd been given an outline and a set of things to cover, and been told to do that at the very least. Bearing in mind it was his first try, he had a limited amount of time and no experience, I wasn't entirely surprised he didn't go beyond what he did. Hopefully he has got a bit more confidence now, and the second book will reflect that. I'm sure it will be an entertaining read whatever.

Well, it seems we have a professional Daddy's Girl on the board.

i'm going to dubai for my 18th =] can't wait!
just thought i'd add that to the previous posts =]

I personally wouldn't bother, having been twice.

On the plus side, I did meet the shopkeeper from Mr Benn, but you won't know who he is.

As if by magic, the shopkeeper appeared.
