The Postman

The book was originally titled Going Postal and launched only in Australia back in February 2010. Since then I’ve been looking at various ways of bringing the book to the UK, and in the end decided to self-publish, transforming Going Postal in to the Long Ride ‘Home.’ The words are pretty much the same but [...]

Hey, hope everyone’s well. It’s certainly been a while. Last I reported I was back in Australia trying to promote the book. That went okay, I don’t think it sold bestseller or anything but it was a nice experience. I even got to be on TV… http://today.ninemsn.com.au/?videoid=0b6f1cb4-765f-4dbe-8dd7-f8d36ba2e8e9 Look for the numpty walking in front of [...]

Morning all, It’s Monday, the 13th March, I think. It’s hot and outside the sun is shining. Because of that I might just go for a ride. But first, I think it’s about time I got around to uploading a few pictures from the book launch the other week. I’ve been so slack, I suppose [...]

It’s not going to be anything glitzy or glamorous, but on Thursday 24th Feb, in the Dymocks bookstore on George Street,  I’m holding a one hour author talk whick kinda acts like my unnoffical book launch.

Hello everybody, It’s Tuesday night, getting late, almost midnight and my eyes are falling sleepy. I’ve been back in Sydney a week now and it ‘s been interesting to say the least. Interesting because I didn’t know what to expect, what to encounter; a book, on the shelf, called Going Postal, the one that I wrote. [...]

I know, not many, but I was kind of in ‘riding’ mode so was quite happy to just keep going and not feel the need to pull over and take some snaps. But I’ve got to ride back up to Brisbane to take the bike back at some point so I’ll get some more then. [...]

Bit of a long slog down the coast from Grafton yesterday, with a stop off to replae a busted CGI unit but we made it, coasting over the Harbour Bridge just after 7pm. A grea feeling. Nice to be back. If you hear and see a very loud postie bike around sydney,  say hello… Right, [...]

Just a quick update. It’s just gone 6am and I’m in a McDonalds in Grafton. I camped on a site on the outskirts of town and am just about to hit the road. I was hoping to get to Taree last night but I think the jetlag kicked in and so after 12 hours on [...]
