For those of you are looking for a humorous Summer read, I recommend you have a look at 'Shakespeare My Butt' by John Donoghue, or as you may be more familiar, our very own Marsupial from the forum!

John may be too modest to blow his own trumpet, but it IS an extremely funny read involving a gorgeous black lab and the meanderings of his highly amusing (and possibly a little eccentric) owner and has had me giggling my head off at the various digressions which populate the pages.

It is available on Amazon and through John's website www.marsupialelvis.com and perfect for those labrador lovers in need of a llighthearted belly laugh!!

And another sale here :D

I'm looking forward to reading about places I recognise - I am a North Easterner after all :wink:

Many thanks for the orders! Hopefully they should be in the post as I type!! :D

For information, I'm about 50,000 words into my next book ...so about two thirds done so far. :p

May need a crash test dummy sometime to have a look and give a few comments whether it's 'hitting the spot' when I've done a bit more. 8O

You can get a bit engrossed writing, and it's nice to get an outside opinion now and again :wink:

Thanks for my book - got it this morning :D

I'll be a guinea pig for your next one, for sure :wink:

Of course I will. I'm halfway through, will probably finish it this evening :D

As promised, here's a review of the book I just read:

Hermione dies at the end.

Oh wait, wrong book!

Shakespeare My Butt! is a wonderful collection of anecdotes and much digressing although the common themes of a black labrador, working at sea and trying to find places in the North East with ridiculous names are very apparent :)

Read this book if you're not embarrassed about laughing out loud (John, that's LOL :wink: ) and either you'd like to visit the places mentioned or in my case, you'd like to revisit the places mentioned!

Don't read this book if you're offended by swearing, you don't have a sense of humour and you find the sentence "He was so irritating that you started to wish the wolf would catch the little f****r and eat him alive but, alas, it never happened" upsetting and disturbing...

I await the next book with baited breath and yes, I would like to see the pictures!

I can't say anything more than what's been said, so I'll say nowt. 8O

:p :wink:

An idea?
All those of you off to far flung flesh spots, when you get there, take a photo of you holding the book and post it on here.
That way we can prove it was an international best seller. :p 8)



The wait for the second book is getting a bit much. Moses didn't take this long. :roll:

:lol:

BushYakker, is this just an excuse to put up a photo of yourself in your speedos? :confused1:

(sorry if anyone is eating whilst they read this 8O )


The next book 'Taking Liberties' is almost there my Speedoed friend ...55,000 words done now.

Moses didn't have a full time job to do as well! :wink:
