How nicer everything is in the sun. And in the spirit of openness (don't want the hubbub of Legend Press to be considered some dark unrecognisable place where strange things happen), here are a couple of pics for you. Firstly, the first finished copies of the fantastic FIRE HORSES by Mark Liam Piggott arrived yesterday. We are really excited about this amazing novel and the copies look great, if we may say so ourselves (in fact designer Gudrun Jobst deserves virtually all the credit).
Those who have spend time feeling our books recently (don't worry, you don't have to name yourselves) will have noticed the fancy embossing on the last two. These small publishers doing things the big publishers do... But I love it though people here are worried that I'm becoming obsessed and will shortly insist everything around me is also embossed. Wouldn't rule it out at the moment.
And secondly, the famous Legend Press Bestseller Chart (well, before authors start counting down, they are ordered in publication date and there is no sales indication on list but that's how I think all the bestselling charts should read anyway). The drawing is mine - a man reading a large book. Not sure a career in arts awaits but you never know.
Maybe more pictures to follow, if I don't spend the rest of the week out in the sun.

Seeing my book a slot-or-two below the fool Coles has inspired me to do more promotion.

I better not stand still for too long when I next visit the office or I might come out of there embossed! Not to be picky, but can’t see Eight Hours on the list???
