Sheep No More

No longer messing about, the time has come to get serious about promoting Sheep No More. It was uploaded to Amazon as an eBook in 2012 and can be obtained from Feed-A-Read in conventional paper and ink format, I have though not been in a position to promote it due to the pressures of everyday life, attempting to make a living etc. Time meanwhile, has been marching on.

Now a plan has been formulated that I will work my way through as necessary. Yesterday (Tuesday 19th) I visited web designer Netguides of Cowes and took with me a whole host of material to revamp the website. The emphasis will change from my banging on about 'the problem' to instead concentrate on practical solutions, which is what the final chapter of my book seeks to do. A constructive criticism of the present website made by a number of well-wishers, is that it is too wordy with nothing to break up the monotony of endless text. So now there will be pictures and artwork included to make it more attractive and all the wording will change, so I'm grateful for the practical advice readers put forward. As soon as the new site goes live, I shall start placing small adds in newspapers and in-house magazines for various trades and industries. In addition, a few hard copies of the book will be sent to people of influence with the aim of gaining their interest. There is a business plan to go with the book and project, the ultimate aim of which is to generate some decent quality, creative jobs for our young people, and it won't take that much momentum to earn the credibility needed in order to go looking for funding.

The picture is of yours truly presenting famous journalist and war correspondent Martin Bell with a copy of Sheep No More. He was on the Isle of Wight at the invitation of Independent Councillors to give a talk and see the beauties of the place and I was fortunate enough to be introduced.
