New NCFC book coming soon...

...this is nothing more than advertising the fact that I'm writing a book for Norwich fans about the experience that is the Premier League, (and not to pigeon hole my work perhaps it might be of interest to other fans from similar clubs).

It's called Barclay Boy: Season in the sun. I like to think of it as a cross between Fever Pitch and Adrian Mole, but others might have other ideas.

It has been picked up by a publishing company which is turning it into a series of three ebooks, and then come the end of the season, a proper, real life, hold in your hand book.

Here's a sneak peek: http://twitpic.com/7f2khi

For those that use electronic books it should be uploaded and ready to read at the end of the week, but I'll let you know concrete details nearer the time.

Hopefully it's an OK read...

 

Good luck with the book!

Is that your chosen career path, as a writer?

 

I'm supposedly a journalist by trade - no one has cottoned on to the fact I'm useless at it yet - but would love to write books full-time. Barclay Boy is a happy mixture of my two hobbies.

 

I'll keep an eye out for it if it makes it to hard copy. Good luck matey.

I'm right in saying you tweet about cars? Good luck with the book! Will treat myself to it on payday!

 

Yeah, have two twitter accounts, thecartweeter and barclay_boy

 

When were you at Acle High School Jammis and did you go to the primary at Acle too?

 

I went to Fleggburgh primary and I left Acle in '96

 

Thought about applying for a job at Flegburgh Primary once until I found out it meant teaching Y3, Y4, Y5 and Y6 children all in the same class!!! I've heard its a nice school though.

 

Erm... I don't quite know how to say this, but I read the 'introduction' on Amazon and there's a glaring error regarding Liverpool's Champions League victory in 2004.

 

Oops! Oh well, at least the Rossoneri will be happy they are allowed to forget their part in that final.

Looks a decent read. Hell will freeze over before I buy a Kindle, but I'll look out for it in proper print.

 

Yes, I noticed that particular whopper of an error, trying to rectify it, but may have to wait until the physical book appears...

...I'm hanging my head in shame...

 

I may also try and play my poetic licence card even if it doesn't work

 

.............finished it yesterday, thouroughly enjoyable read for a canary fan but a bit too much info on colitis for my taste.

 

I'll try and tone it down in Parts 2 and 3 - bowels permitting

How about City Stand Boy? A book about drinking cocoa, looking at the Barclay end in utter digust and ranting at Village Parish meetings about the local green.
