Hi, I cannot see how to email you on your blog layout, so here is a brief book message from Auckland! As a personal contribution to NZ book month, I have this week published an ebook you may be interested to comment upon. There is more about it at http://therealmrfrankenstein.blogspot.com/
If you would like to know more you can also contact me via my blog profile.
Kind regards

...strange comment I realise, but I'm keen to contact my pal Ross Lorimer (in the photograph), who I haven't seen or spoken to in about 15 years! Does anyone have his contact details? Simon (Atkinson) UK
